Battle Chess 4000 is part of the Battle Chess series based on the classic board game Chess. It was developed and published by Interplay in 1992 for DOS only.
For those unfamiliar with the series, Battle Chess brings a unique spin on the old classic with the addition of combat animations when taking the opposing player’s pieces. These animations take place in-game rather than in a separate window. BC4000’s particular Chess theme is somewhat of a sci-fi setting that borrows from some of the creators’ favorite shows of the time. Each piece has its unique movements made possible by using clay models to create the animations.
If you’re anything like me, Chess is not your strong suit. However, Battle Chess 4000 makes the old classic feel new again. With advanced AI, the game can learn your play style and change strategy accordingly.
If you ever wanted to get better at Chess, this is a pretty fun way to do it.
