Combat, mortal combat, is the heart and soul of chess, but this aspect of it can only live in the mind's eye. In player's minds, the bold knight, resplendent in his armor of silver or ebon, sallies forth and slays the foul footsoldier. An entire medieval world at war is reflected on the checkered field.Įveryone who's ever had a knight take a pawn has seen that capture as more than one piece replacing another on the board. The most challenging game on earth comes to life in Battle Chess. It took 2,000 years for someone to make chess better!
