What is Chess?
Chess is a two-player board game with an emphasis on strategy. A chessboard contains 8 rows (“ranks”) and 8 columns (“files”). The squares of a chessboard alternate in color between light and dark. The board is positioned so that each player has a light-colored square on the right-hand corner of the nearest rank.
Chess Setup
Each player begins the game with 8 pawns, 2 rooks, 2 knights, 2 bishops, a queen, and a king. One player’s pieces are black and the other’s are white. The pieces are initially positioned in front of the player in two rows. The second row from the player contains the pawns. The other pieces are arranged on the row nearest to the player. The center two squares hold the king and queen; the queen is placed on the square which matches the player’s color (thus the white queen is on a light-colored square and the black queen is on a dark-colored square). The bishops are placed in the empty squares next to the king and queen. The knights are placed on the empty squares next to the bishops. Finally, a rook is placed on each end of the row.
Movement and Capturing
Each type of piece has its own unique movement. A pawn may only move forward one square at a time (except for its first move, when it may advance by one or two squares). Rooks may move an unlimited number of squares vertically or horizontally; bishops may move an unlimited number of squares diagonally. The queen may move an unlimited number of squares in any direction. The king may move one square in any direction. The knight may be moved to any of the 8 nearest squares not on the same rank, file, or diagonal. Its movement is thus shaped like the letter “L”: two squares in one direction and then one square to the side. Only knights may “jump over” other pieces.
Pieces must be moved to an empty square unless the player wishes to capture an opponent’s piece. In that case, he moves his piece into the square occupied by the piece to be captured and removes the latter from the board. All pieces capture in the same way that they move except the pawn, which may only capture by moving one square diagonally, never by moving forward.
There are also certain special moves, such as castling, capturing a pawn “en passant,” and promoting a pawn to another piece.
End of the Game
“Check” means that one player’s king is in a position such that it will be captured in the opponent’s next turn if it is not moved. The goal of chess is to force the opponent’s king into a situation in which it is in check, and also cannot move without going into check. This is called “checkmate” and concludes the game. There are also other possible endings to a game of chess, such as one player resigning, or both players agreeing to a draw.
The History of Chess
Chess evolved in medieval Europe out of earlier games from India and the Middle East. By the Renaissance, the rules of chess had taken the form by which they are known today, with a few minor exceptions. The game proved wildly popular, and many treatises were published on various aspects of the game. In 1851, the first modern international chess tournament was held in London. Ironically, it was not during this tournament but rather during a break that perhaps the most amazing game of all time, the “Immortal Game,” was played between Adolf Anderssen and Lionel Kieseritzky.
Such chess tournaments continue to be popular to this day. The names of some of the most famous chess players, such as Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer, are as well known as those of major athletes. Meanwhile, average players also continue to find joy in chess. In recent times, chess video games have been developed. The “Chessmaster” series of games, now in its eleventh incarnation, has been consistently popular since 1986. There are also many websites which offer the ability to play chess online.
Who Will Like Chess?
As perhaps the most recognizable board game in the western world, chess appeals to a wide audience. Its relatively simple rules make it easy to learn, but the infinite variety of outcomes and the need to create a long-term strategy make it difficult to master. Patience, thoroughness, far-sightedness, and flexibility are among the qualities called for in chess players. Those who really like to think, want to take their time before making a move, and love complex strategy usually enjoy chess.

Overview
Battle Chess Full PC Game Overview
Battle Chess Download Free Full Game is a video game version of chess in which the chess pieces come to life and battle one another when capturing. It was originally developed and released by Interplay Entertainment for the Amiga in 1988 and subsequently on many other systems, including 3DO, Acorn Archimedes, Amiga CD32, Amiga CDTV, Apple IIGS, Apple IIe, Atari ST, Commodore 64, DOS, FM Towns, NES, Mac OS, PC-98, Sharp X68000 and Windows 3.x. In 1991, Battle Chess Enhanced was released by Interplay for the PC, featuring improved VGA graphics and a symphonic musical score that played from the CD-ROM.
Battle Chess was critically acclaimed and commercially successful, resulting in two official follow-ups as well as several inspired games. Its remake, Battle Chess: Game of Kings, was released on Steam on March 16, 2014.
Gameplay
Since there are six types of pieces for each color, and a king cannot capture a king, there are 35 battle animations.[2] The rook, for example, turns into a rock monster and kills a pawn by smashing his head. There are some pop-culture homages; the knight versus knight animation references the black knight fight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail , and the king versus bishop fight pastiches the short battle between Indiana Jones and a swordsman in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The game can be also played in a 2D version with no animations, and the Amiga CDTV version features a fully voiced introduction describing the movements of the pieces for the benefit of beginners. Digitized sound is utilized in the DOS version for all battle sound effects and is played through the PC speaker, without the need for a sound card, using a technique akin to RealSound.
Battle Chess could be played against a human opponent (by hotseat, or by null modem or over a local area network in some ports) or against the computer's artificial intelligence (AI).[2] The game has an opening library from over 30,000 moves (which were not available for the Commodore 64 and Apple II versions).
Development
Battle Chess was the first title developed and published by Interplay Entertainment themselves after ending their relationship with Electronic Arts, besides Neuromancer. The game was featured in the 1992 film Knight Moves about a chess grandmaster who is accused of several murders.[3] Battle Chess producer and Interplay's founder Brian Fargo expressed his fondness for the game in a 2006 interview, although he added that he did not think there would be much of an audience for it today.

An apocryphal story of the development was the invention of «The Duck» (an example of Parkinson's law of triviality): The producers of the game were known to demand changes to the game, presumably to make their mark on the finished product. To this end, one animator added a small duck around the queen piece, but made sure that the sprite would be easily removable. Come review, the producers, predictably, okayed everything but asked for the duck to be removed. Battle Chess for PC.
Reception
The Amiga version received favourable reviews from magazines due its comical battle sequences which were advanced (for the time) in terms of graphics, animation and sound. German game magazine ASM, however, criticized the weak chess AI.[13] In a review of the 3DO version, Electronic Gaming Monthly stated, 'If you are a chess fan, then you may want to check this title out.[9]'
Interplay won «Best Graphics Achievement In A Non-Graphics Product» from Software Publishers Association (later renamed to Software and Information Industry Association) for Battle Chess.[14] In 1996, Computer Gaming World ranked it as the 106th best game of all time for its 'funny, elaborate animated sequences and spectacular special effects.[15]'

Sequels
A sequel titled Battle Chess II Chinese Chess was released in 1991, based on xiangqi, commonly known as «Chinese chess». The next year's Battle Chess 4000 spoofed science fiction movies and television series (such as a battle sequence involving the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey) and used a clay animation art style similar to Clayfighter.
Inspired games
Battle Chess also spawned a number of inspired games, such as Star Wars Chess, released by Software Toolworks in 1993,[16] Terminator 2: Judgment Day — Chess Wars, developed by Capstone Software and released by IntraCorp also in 1993,[17] and National Lampoon's Chess Maniac 5 Billion and 1. Another clone, War Chess was released by XS Games for the PlayStation 2 in 2005,[18] and was later ported to the PC by Big Fish Games and released online.[19]
One similar game, titled Battle vs. Chess, was developed by TopWare Interactive for «just about every platform».[20] However, Interplay filed and won an injunction for trademark infringement in 2010 and TopWare was prevented from releasing Battle vs Chess in the United States.[21] The District Court of California came into session and given that after two years of litigation, TopWare Interactive discharged their lawyer, resulting in Interplay winning the case by default.
