This was great fun to work on. Lego were quite inexperienced and very strict in terms of what we could do. We were banned from bending limbs when animating or showing any violence (we originally wanted the characters to explode into pieces). All the characters were exactly to scale and based on real sets. I left Krisalis Software the following year so it’s one of the last games I worked on for them. 😊
omg this game made me really like chess as a kid! It's amazing to meet one of the people who worked on this! Also quite ironic that newer lego games have characters explode into pieces.
@@philliphackney7451 I got this game and a five pack of Lego games when I was six or seven. I probably played this game in Legoland the most just because of how fun it was. Thank you and your team for producing some of the most memorable games.
Miss my childhood.. from Korea.. I had no idea what chess was, until my mother bought me this cd as birthday present..and that kid has grown with elo rater between1900-2000....still a pleasant hobby.
I remember using a could of the moves I learned in the game on my friends at the time, which really annoyed them because they didn't know they were allowed.
Damn, I remember buying this around 2002-2003. If I'm not mistaken, the CD came with a figure, which was like a king in his throne or something. I remember playing this on my mom's computer, on like windows 2000. I miss those times.
Lego Island 1 or 2 (I think it was 2) came with a minifigure of the Brickster, too and there was a cartoon word box where he was saying "Hey! Let me out!"
I remember playing this in 3rd grade back in like 2006. Our teacher used it to teach us about probability. It also taught me how to play chess. Great times back then.
this game also came with a cool Lego figure of the king and his crown was detachable so you could use it on other little Lego figure as well. I used to play this on a old 1995 Packard Bell computer. seriously though who would buy a remake of this game? if they actually made a more modern version of Lego Chess with all the old content and a little bit of new stuff added even I would probably buy it. so many memories of this game, bring it back and new kids could learn something and old fans could have some fun.
The only problem with this game is the SFX used in the Cut scenes; the more a certain SFX plays, it stops playing all together and it can happen at random. 1 of the examples is when the Queen throws a Banana to trip up the Knight; the "Parrot" SFX is missing and it even doesn't play when the Rook takes out the Bishop
I did everything but when I try and run it it says "please insert the lego chess cd" I know there's some patch on a website called selectsoft.com but the website does not load for me. Do you have the patch or another fix and do you mind sending it to me if you do?
Brothers and Sisters, as it is written in the Gospel of Mark, "They went from from there and passed though Galilee. And He did not want anyone to know, for He was teaching His disciples, saying to them, "The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him. And when He is killed, after three days He will rise." But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask Him." (Mark 9:30-32) Brothers, Our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ died for you that you may be free from sin and subject to The LORD God of Hosts; for He has been resurrected that it may be certain that death has no power over Him. Beloved, repent of your sins and keep your faith strong in Our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, who is the way and the truth and the life, by whose name man finds his only salvation. -Ezekiel

Thank you so much man, I remember having lots of fun with this game
Aight this wasnt a fever dream
I couldn't remember if this game was real or not lol
this game was my childhood! I was always deliberately letting my pieces get taken so I could watch the cutscenes
You and me both
@@trclinkscales certainly will!!!!
Andrew Seller same here. The cutscenes were totally hilarious 😆😂🤣.
Of course you did, The cutscenes are so Charming that its like a cartoon almost!
@@andrewseller7681 dhgfdhjdgj😂😘😁😭❤️🙏
Lego games used to have such a charm to them.
I'd say they still do.
That´s the nostalgia talking
@@Julia-jc6xu No, they still have charm to them. Not saying new games are bad, they just aren’t the same.
Very nostalgic for me. Makes me emotional remembering what it was like to be a kid.
This game legitimately taught me how to play chess.

The tutorials in this game were actually very helpful, learned some rules and tricks no one had taught me before, like en passant.

You mean "en passant"

BRUHHHHH THE MEMORIES. This is literally what got me into chess

I miss those times.
Yeah the figure was the king!!
Binco Windows XP, and pc taking 10 minutes to start up xD
I miss this game so much
Lego Island 1 or 2 (I think it was 2) came with a minifigure of the Brickster, too and there was a cartoon word box where he was saying "Hey! Let me out!"
the game in fact came out in 1998
I remember being a kid trying to build every item from this game, I spend hours and hours playing, lego games were so awesome
This and Lego Island were my favorite games growing up. Thanks for making this great game.
I remember playing this in 3rd grade back in like 2006.
Our teacher used it to teach us about probability. It also taught me how to play chess.
Great times back then.
Despite playing this so much as a kid (poorly) I had totally forgotten about it until recently! Thanks for the upload!
This game taught me chess. I spent hours playing this as a kid.
Hi from the past I'm from the future
Loved this game as a kid and remembered it now out of nowhere. I could never beat the last level and I'm still not over it!
These cutscenes are just Work of art
this game also came with a cool Lego figure of the king and his crown was detachable so you could use it on other little Lego figure as well.

i remember faking being sick to stay home from school just to play this back in like 2000 so crazy
Team Blue is Player 1 💙
Team Red is Player 2 ❤️
I loved this game as a child , I spent so much time playing all the Lego games. Good times
Played this from a 4 pack of Lego games: Chess, Rock Raiders, Creator, and Island (1). All of them were great fun!
These cutscenes are just timeless 😂
What a game. Brings me back.
I would have loved to learn Chess this way.
The only problem with this game is the SFX used in the Cut scenes; the more a certain SFX plays, it stops playing all together and it can happen at random. 1 of the examples is when the Queen throws a Banana to trip up the Knight; the "Parrot" SFX is missing and it even doesn't play when the Rook takes out the Bishop
Fuck chess.com all my homies play 1998 lego chess

Does anyone know if this game can be 100% completed?
Yes and it’s pretty easy if you’re good at chess. There’s just a chess tutorial you can complete and then 2 story modes.

How did you get this to work?
I did everything but when I try and run it it says "please insert the lego chess cd" I know there's some patch on a website called selectsoft.com but the website does not load for me. Do you have the patch or another fix and do you mind sending it to me if you do?
Thanks, but now it crashes on startup saying "a problem has occurred and Lego Chess has to close." Help?
The other one on that same page? Yes, but afterwards it just gives me the insert cd error again.
what do i replace the .exe file with?
