Strategy Battle Chess 1

When regular chess is not fancy enough for you, how about having two pieces that clash, they duke it out. The capturing piece will always win, but the animations make for a nice little addition to an otherwise plain chess game. Some of the animations are pop-culture references (such as Indiana Jones, or Monty Python).

Battle Chess offers you the option to play chess against either a friend, or (some pretty good; it has thousands of opening moves at its disposal) computer AI. You can choose between the 3D version (with animated pieces), or a plain 2D chessboard.
