BATTLE VS CHESS - DVD-ROM GAME

I mean, its an old Battle Chess game. It comes with PC and Mac versions and its LIVE enabled. That means ACHIEVEMENTS!http://www.trueachievements.com/Battle-vs-Chess-PC/achievements.htmInstalls and works perfectly on Windows 10.There are 2 keys you need. 1 which is on the back of the manual to activate the game and the other which is included on a single sheet will activate the GfWL integration.

The media could not be loaded.  There is a bug in the chess engine. I have better things to do than testing a game in different platforms, but I am specially interested in this game because my little daughter loves the animations. So I purchased both this PC DVD version here, and a Linux port from the TopWare site.You can read in this very same Amazon page that the manufacturer claims "Utilizing the famous FRITZ! chess algorithm". I do not see how that can be. The game has 10 levels of difficulty, and to my surprise it plays completely awful, sometimes worse than random moves from levels 0 to 6, and if you try levels 7 to 9 it simply gets stuck "thinking" and does not respond once the opening book is over.I emailed TopWare and they told me that it should take below 10 seconds to answer in level 8, even after the opening book is over, but in my machine I got tired of waiting after 5 minutes.I have a special interest as said, so I have tried the game in different machines of my office mates. Some Windows 10 64 bit, some Windows 8, with different CPUs, and it is the same everywhere. Instant but awful moves below level 7, or no moves at all in a finite amount of time in levels 7 and above. Then I found someone in YouTube complaining about the same issue but she or he managed to make the program work on an older gaming laptop with Windows 7Then I found a friend with a Windows 7 laptop and I tried and, yes, in that machine the response time at high levels is reasonable, and the game at lower levels seems decent.So, before buying, please email the seller first and list your hardware. Ask them if it is compatible with the game. And after you receive the product, test it on your machine. The way to know if you are affected by this is going directly to level 7 or 8 and playing a game. If the response time is of a few seconds per move once you past the opening book (i.e. 4 or 6 moves into the game more or less) then you are lucky. But if it gets stuck "thinking" at the 4th or 5th move, then you should ask for a refund. The main problem is not the response time at the higher levels, but the bad moves at lower levels like, e.g. bringing knights to the edge of the board and them back, or when the king abandons his square and does a suicidal walk to the middle of the board for no reason. Do not expose a learning child to that, it is going to be deeply counterproductive.

I've been looking for an animated Chess game for my son (and me). This is the best i found. Graphics are good and the multiple options of gaming makes for the perfect choice in battle chess.

you have to be online to play this!..i wanted somthng that could be played OFF-LINE!

Never could get this to work with Windows 8.1. Then again I'm not tech savy.

The best chess game ever. If you like playing chess you will love Battle vs Chess.

This product works. It does what it says, arrived in good condition and able to use it for my purpose. I found the chess traditional game good and the graphics excellent, but IMSO not the story line of the side game. The side games are interesting, but the story line sounds like an illuminati story line where they turn the Bible event of Jacob and Bethel (Genesis 28:10-17) upside down. And Jacob in this game is associated with the dark side. Again, I find this game to have good graphics but the side game back story which seems to place good as bad, makes me loose interest.

love this game, the animation is great

Me da problemas para instalarlo en el Windows 10, no puedo instalarloEs una penaerror live:hr=0x800b100prodriamos hacer algo

I had no problem installing but my ageing i5 laptop tended to overheat while playing. The game itself is quite colourful and animated, adding a different dimension to the game of chess. However, to be honest if you're a serious chess player this is no more than a novelty that, for me, was actually more of a distraction while playing. It had limited viewing angles and the pieces often confused me knowing which piece was which. In the end I uninstalled this and resorted to playing with a 'normal', classical chess style software. That way I was able to focus on the game and not the cartoon distractions. I can understand how this could appeal to younger users, but it's not for me.

I have often wondered about whether a software programme that was able to deal with chess,combined with good graphics would be able to deliver and still be affordable.Well, here we have the answer. Yes, it's do-able.I like chess,but sometimes,you know, it's a bit samey.Along comes this software, and for those times when you want something a bit different, BAM BAM GRAPHICS.Also, a skilful opponent.I really like it,at this price you cannot go wrong, any niggles are not worth mentioning.Extremely good value for money

This software does not work on a mac as it's supposed to. I guess I should have known better.

Installed but not working
