Play with living, battling characters!
Combat Chess takes the basic chess game and adds an imaginative element for players bored with the simple "black vs. white" chess board. Beautifully done in rendered 3D graphics, Combat Chess adds stunning animation sequences during gameplay. Combat Chess is written to Grand Master standards and supports play against human opponents.
Combat Chess includes 3D rendered pieces from a medieval setting with fantasy elements. Pawns become dragons, Knights become real knights, the Black Knight’s turning your pawns to green jelly, and the Queen’s threatening to deliver a majestic head-butt to your king... With over 600 animation sequences, each piece includes "fidget" sequences for those moments you need to think. The animations include movement, combat, fidgets, and "check" moves. For the traditional minded, Combat Chess includes a traditional set, also 3D rendered. Two boards come with the game, each assigned to the genre of pieces.

Age requirements: ESRB Rating: TEEN with Animated Violence, Comic Mischief.
Minimum system requirements: Windows XP or Windows Vista, 1 GHz Processor (1.4 GHz recommended), 256MB RAM (512 recommended), 3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 7 (compatible with DirectX 9 recommended), Mouse, Keyboard.

Interface disaster (by Who3D Who3D)
There might be a great game behind the highly amusing animations, but it's unlikely that I and my son will ever find it because the Windows-based interface is so INCREDIBLY limited. We are coming to this after LEGO Chess which, despite it's juvenile nature, is a far more pleasant experience. This game has obtrusive "panels" (information windows) all over the place and... full review
