Description
The game runs fine in DOSBOX on my Slackware Linux machine, either in window or full screen, the sound is fine as well.
If you end up with a gazillion toolbars and all kinds of crap you are probably using Internet Explorer. Get a real browser and protect yourself with AdBlocking add-ons and a good HOSTS file.
I have a slightly different version of Battle Chess that I think is better, the queen throws bolts of lightening, and the bishop makes a snickering sound when he kills. I think it′s version 4.
This game taught me how to play chess. I remember how proud I felt when I beat the comp on the highest difficulty. Back then I felt like some chess genius. Recently, about 25 years later, I created an account on some online chess site and can′t get over the 1200 rating in blitz. To add insult to injury, I have to read on the site′s forums how 1500 rated players are "patzers". Sorry for the rant. Chess is hard.

I LOVED this game back in the day…I′m running Win 3.1 in Dosbox on a pi and SO FAR its run all the old Dos games better then Virtual box- thank you Youtube for showing me how to do it and THANK YOU the folks running this site!!
I can′t download the mac version. It′s not in dmg format even though it says mac. I really loved this game and would love to play it again/
Hello!
My game slows down alot, when i move my bishops. Anyone else got the same problem?
My grandmother had a worthless Tandy 1000 when I was little. Well, worthless other than that it had BattleChess….which was effing awesome.
This is the BEST chess game I′ve ever played! Each piece has a special attack depending on what other piece it′s attacking! That′s 216 unique attacks! They also all have their own moving animations and sounds!
hey is there a copy of this game for a 1984 Macintosh computer on this website?
This game looked really cool but i can′t figure out how to move my pieces! The manual doesn′t help either… wtvr i′ll figure it out. I LOVE DOS GAMES!!
Download includes the enhanced edition with the yellow chess board. Some moves freeze the game to a stand still for inexplicable reasons.
Cool game. The animations are waay coool but distracting, like I play only to see how they cut each other!
File downloaded bit won′t open nor are the docs recognised by Adobe.
File won′t open to full screen without more downloads – too much hassle.
How come I have to down load 40 tool bars and 35 zip extractors and my brand new computer needs to download better software to run a this 30 year old game. What a Fuken joke.
You maybe want to try out the Commodore Amiga version of this game instead. Search the web for a disk image in ADF format and run the game using the WinUAE emulator. The Amiga version is more colorful (32 colors instead of just 16) and has better sound effects.
Run it in dosbox (http://www.dosbox.com/)
Okay, I found out how to do it. Ignore my last post. I didn′t realize there was a section for that on this site.
My PC won′t run the game. 🙁
I am running Windows 7 64 bit, and I get an error message saying that I need to run it in 32 bit. I don′t know what to do! 🙁
I play it in d-fend reloaded and i use the dosbox app to run this game. but suddenly it comes laggy, especially when the bishop take a move. Do you guys have the same problem and if yes, what′s the the solution?
I love old games though i′m 16 years old.
is it me or this game lags? i know its not my computer
especially after long range moves, or anything that is more than 1 square move really… it all started with bishop.
its probably your computer. XD

Is this only one player? I remeber it was possible to play two players
When I move my bishop the game slows down, and becomes unresponsive. Anyone else having this problem? As soon as the bishop has made it′s animation the game works again. (Only when I move the bishop.)
