I had this game and never realized how slow the animations were. I guess back in 1994 playing this on CD ROM was groundbreaking so never really noticed it.
This is the craziest bit of nostalgia that I honestly never thought I'd experience -- not to mention even remember. I used to put the disc into my CD player and listened to the audio files. Must've been at least 25 years ago, how crazy!
BLUE KING music hits the best!!! But they all are so good. Blue knight is second. Gotta love the creepy bishops graphics too. POUND--FOR---POUND, Blue music wins.
I remember my grandfather showing me this game when I was a kid lol so violent, I was shocked by it but couldnt help myself it was so cool, now comedic of course, wanna play it again
I would love it if someone would remake this exact game. The music, the way the characters pieces look and their personalities and their kill animations when they take over another piece. I was 5 or 6 years old when I played this over 15 years ago. It was the first game I ever played. I want to play it again honestly.
One of my first games. I remember playing it when I was about 4 or 5 years old and got frustrated because I had no idea how to play chess xD I learned from this game though!
IN POP CULTURE. In the movie FX 2 from 1991 the game appears on the list of games a police officer searcher for on a disc during a house search. It's around the 32:50 movie time
omg, I had this game way back in the day! I remember the music more vividly than anything else, but yes! This is definitely the chess game we had on our family pc
I remember playing this as a kid in a room that had a lesson going on. The constant screaming pissed off the tutor and he asked me to leave. I said '' no, i'm about to get check mate'' . He was fucking furious. I didn't give a shit.
This is a perfect example of they don't make em like they used to. Also theres an option on the set up board where you can play with 3 rooks and 3 knights or whatever you want...
Bunch of high 30/40 somethings here right? I was born in 1980. Distant memories of being at a friend's house trying to play this impossible chess game long before we knew how to okay chess. Did ANYONE who actually played chess ever play this game? My friend Richard had an Amiga 500.
My Father showed me this game when I was 7! I learned chess through this game, and the speed was slow so I could learn the angles of each piece...played my dad a lot too. Born in 91
I wish the game would slow down a bit. I cant tell wtf is going on here. It also helps that its filled with 900 fucking ads throughout the video. Thanks...
acabo de terminar una partida de Battle Chess, ya terminó el mundial de Francia 98? qué?? Ya pasó el de Japón y Corea? Y Alemania?? y el de Sudafrica??? Y TAMBIEN EL DE BRASIL??? Oh, maldito juego de mierda, te consumiste mi vida.
Three years late, but they can be by editing an ini file in the Windows version. They can be made to go really fast. I don't think they can be in the DOS version.
The movement animations in this game were _way_ too slow. Also the pre-battle movement was really annoying. I don't understand why they didn't fix that.
27:12 I wonder why the Bishop didn't perform Bc2a4 and, instead, performed Bc2b3. Black's Bishop on e8 is royally pinned (rendered immobile in order to protect King from being exposed to check by enemy piece) by White's Rook on d8, so White's Bishop on a4 is 1 - not being threatened by Black's immobile Bishop, and 2 - at an advantage to capture Black's immobile Bishop (White's d8 Rook is already threatening his capture.) Serious chess players and chess analysts, please help.
Una vez jugué o vi jugar un juego de ajedrez semejante al Battle Chess, pero tengo el recuerdo de que los gráficos no eran tan coloridos (se veían en tonos de azul y gris, como si fuese de noche) y una de las piezas era una especie de troll que literalmente "se comía" a la pieza enemiga al capturarla. ¿Alguien sabrá cuál es?
***** Puede que te refieras a la versión originaria que fue distribuida a finales de los 80, aunque no me viene a la mente ningún trol (si exceptuamos el momento en el que la torre se convierte en un monstruo). Ten en cuenta que este vídeo corresponde a la versión mejorada que salió en CD-ROM unos años después.
oye tan raro, yo logro qeu funcione, y si bien tiene musica, no tiene efectos de sonido, cosa que en este video si tiene.. he hecho algo mal acaso? porque por mas que trato de instalarlo desde el cd, no me deja
Tienes que configurar la tarjeta de sonido con los valores SoundBlaster, port 220, IRQ 7 y DMA 1. Además, una vez que te encuentres dentro del juego dispones de unas pestañas en la parte superior que te permitirán escoger el tipo de efectos que deseas que se escuchen durante la partida.
Tan sólo tienes que descargar e instalar la versión de "DOSBox" para MAC. En cuanto a la velocidad de movimientos, puedes corregirlo aumentando los ciclos a través de dicho emulador.
El símbolo "~" se introduce con la combinación de teclas ALT+126. No obstante, desconozco cuál será la manera de arrancarlo en MAC porque nunca lo he utilizado.

The 1988 version is faster.
King attacking a bishop is the best
This is the craziest bit of nostalgia that I honestly never thought I'd experience -- not to mention even remember. I used to put the disc into my CD player and listened to the audio files. Must've been at least 25 years ago, how crazy!
i did that too and i forgot that i did until i read this comment!
Same
watching this on speed 2.0 is MUUUUUCH more entertaining
My goodness, you are SO right about this. And even then it's a bit slow. XD
Good tip. Thank you.
certainly gets through it quicker, they move SO slow
Why did I wait until after watching the whole thing at native speed before reading the comments?
Thanks. Forgot I could do that
BLUE KING music hits the best!!!
But they all are so good. Blue knight is second. Gotta love the creepy bishops graphics too. POUND--FOR---POUND, Blue music wins.
I remember my grandfather showing me this game when I was a kid lol so violent, I was shocked by it but couldnt help myself it was so cool, now comedic of course, wanna play it again
This comment makes me feel old.
Oldge@@IDKGeorge123
Oh my God I remember playing this when it came out, I was...9 I forgot about the Monty Python Knight fight
Oh God that theme song was a blast of nostalgia. I forgot about the CD soundtrack of this being so good until just now.
The game was featured in the 1992 film Knight Moves starring Christopher Lambert.
I would love it if someone would remake this exact game. The music, the way the characters pieces look and their personalities and their kill animations when they take over another piece. I was 5 or 6 years old when I played this over 15 years ago. It was the first game I ever played. I want to play it again honestly.
15 years ago I didn't know how to speak a word properly. I only knew how to sleep.
Absolutely agree with you
I would pay anything for it also..
With today's technology and someone thats a chess nut would be amazing
@@zepp-tr8go Wow its been 2 years since I commented here. Time flies. But I'm happy someone brings me back to this topic.
To this day, this parody of the fight between the knights is still very funny. The game makes the scene of Monty Python and the Holy Grail
5:57 LOL that Monty Python reference!
its only a flesh wound
Tis but a scratch!
Thumbs up if you have fond memories of playing this game and eating pepperoni pizza.
yesssss...... could've still tried to bit his opponent's ankles off, though! :D
@@Nightbanekaizer I hate pepperoni bro....
@@cowafungus8104 Heresy of the highest profanity!
Jk I haven't eaten Pizza in a long time. But I'd still like Cheese and Supreme.
One of my first games. I remember playing it when I was about 4 or 5 years old and got frustrated because I had no idea how to play chess xD I learned from this game though!
One of the best computer games ever created! The perfect version of "animated" chess.
Which got a 3D upgrade; the remake (subtitled as “Game of Kings”) has nearly 3 times the amount of capture animations.
IN POP CULTURE. In the movie FX 2 from 1991 the game appears on the list of games a police officer searcher for on a disc during a house search. It's around the 32:50 movie time
Good old days. I still remember knight taking knight was crazy ☠️☠️ I wanna be a kid again.. seriously
I never played this enhanced version, but the original was one of my favorite things in 90'.
th-cam.com/video/CVA_lQtIPAo/w-d-xo.html
Amazing how a 30-year old game still holds up today.
5:50 - Is that a reference to Monty Python Black Knight?
I once set my chess computer to maximum difficulty, and it had me check mate in 2 turns.
23:38 That knight must have been super stressed, like "Oh no I know where this is going" as he's dodging all that magic
omg, I had this game way back in the day! I remember the music more vividly than anything else, but yes! This is definitely the chess game we had on our family pc
I was becoming a chess master as a kid and didn’t even know it! Lol
this video in 2.0 speed is how the game should have looked like
6:47
That red knight got kicked in his IRON BALLS! XD
Or stabbed
30:29
I remember I learned to play chess with this game. Just moving the pieces until it would let me move them and picked it up!
Lo jugué en la Colección de Juegos para PC de El País. Que recuerdos con mi MMX 200 MHz
¡Un clásico! Jajaja
I remember playing this as a kid in a room that had a lesson going on. The constant screaming pissed off the tutor and he asked me to leave. I said '' no, i'm about to get check mate'' . He was fucking furious. I didn't give a shit.
You sound like an ass
r/thathappened
what happened next?
The music is master and i have heard at King Charles coronation it really exists 😮😮..🙋🏻♂️🎩
I remember playing a MAC OS version of this.
This is a perfect example of they don't make em like they used to.
Also theres an option on the set up board where you can play with 3 rooks and 3 knights or whatever you want...
And you could do that with a full set of pawns?
OMG. I really miss that game.
Best chess game ever.
At no point in it's development did an exec go "are you serious? It's outrageously slow..."
It's possible that this was the fastest they could get it.
I remember playing this game at school a lot and in primary school
2.0x speed is perfect
Those peasants take forever to turn
The queen must be a Kardashian.
this is the slowest chess game in the history of the game
HOW CAN WE PLAY IT IN WINDOWS 10 64 BIT
Nice game. I still have the cd-rom. It works also with windows xp. Unfortunately i cannot install it on a windows10 computer
Even at 2x playback speed this game is slow! haha
Damn queen got cake
They managed to make chess even more slow
Holy shit that knight kill was brutal lol
It takes most of the time for the characters to move and turn...

I'm 21 lmao, played this game on my dad's old PC when i was like 6 and didn't even care about chess, just liked the battle scenes
Never knew this game existed. It's AWESOME💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖. I only played the original one. I still prefer the original one better.
I wish they had put this verison on steam included to the battle chess version that is availible regularly there.
Oh, how I wish that Steam Network has this version of BC available. I'd download it in a New York minute if they had it.
I was literally just about to go on Steam and buy this.....damn
They have it on steam now store.steampowered.com/app/622830/Battle_Chess/
@@Matthew_Troll Nope. Sorry. That’s the regular version. I’m talking about the enhanced CD version.
2x speed looks normal tbh
5:54 is a monty python reference
Да все уже поняли, поц бл
Is the 2 year battle final over? Everyone was so slow at walking to their deaths!
I actually learn how to play chess from this game
6:15 My god, that was cruent.
How do I find and download this exact version of this game? Steam only offers something else.
Queen was hot 🔥
un juego muy entretenido, desde hace años quise descargar en mi computadora
Lo tienes para descargar en mi página, si lo deseas.
I still remember the opponents bishop move sound
I wish the game would slow down a bit. I cant tell wtf is going on here. It also helps that its filled with 900 fucking ads throughout the video. Thanks...
the bishop's sound is like a graveyard LOL
That Rook is the THING! lol
on that time since I wasn't bi I didn't noticed that horse was such a hot character 😂
acabo de terminar una partida de Battle Chess, ya terminó el mundial de Francia 98? qué?? Ya pasó el de Japón y Corea? Y Alemania?? y el de Sudafrica??? Y TAMBIEN EL DE BRASIL??? Oh, maldito juego de mierda, te consumiste mi vida.
+Giancarlo Giovannetti Lo has resumido perfectamente, jajaja.
Even the original was faster
Wow this is the best version i think
Bishop moves up... Bishop moves back.
Serious question? Can the units movements be speed up?
Three years late, but they can be by editing an ini file in the Windows version. They can be made to go really fast. I don't think they can be in the DOS version.
@@Silanda u know how exactly ? :D
I had the Nintendo version back in the day.
Why is the king so tiny
Knight Blue:Come on Come on! 6:04
It is kinda slow
I have the game disc but need a compatibility disc to play on windows 8 and above
I miss this game
11 dislikes from blue
Here because of reddit
Oh yeah and I thought it was Wizard's Chess 😂 😂
5:53 Monty Python.
That red rook looked very very very very very very very very dangerous at 36:23 when the blue light squared bishop died.
Why bishops so often remind demons in such games? ;s
hey guys..anyone knows where i can get this game? i could not find any downloads online anymore.
You have to to download a dos emulator for pc then find the dos game rom for battle chess
They should've have the guy say Fatality when someone dies.
The movement animations in this game were _way_ too slow. Also the pre-battle movement was really annoying. I don't understand why they didn't fix that.
back then it didn't feel slow--it was more just like "oooooooh--ahhhhhh"
As always, the King is married to a heartless witch
This game was so cool.
I believe prefer the original Battle Chess
Harry Potter Chess
27:12
I wonder why the Bishop didn't perform Bc2a4 and, instead, performed Bc2b3. Black's Bishop on e8 is royally pinned (rendered immobile in order to protect King from being exposed to check by enemy piece) by White's Rook on d8, so White's Bishop on a4 is
1 - not being threatened by Black's immobile Bishop, and
2 - at an advantage to capture Black's immobile Bishop (White's d8 Rook is already threatening his capture.)
Serious chess players and chess analysts, please help.
There was a chess battle before this!! Why can't I find it
You can download the original game on Steam for like £7
The music like King quest 7 music
Slow-ass Chess

de donde puedo bajar el juego? el emulador lo tengo
Can someone please tell me why it plays that annoying music between moves?
muy interesante
Lo es, desde luego.
oye tan raro, yo logro qeu funcione, y si bien tiene musica, no tiene efectos de sonido, cosa que en este video si tiene.. he hecho algo mal acaso? porque por mas que trato de instalarlo desde el cd, no me deja

siento molestarte, pero por donde se configura el sonido? con que archivo?
no amigo, no pude ponerle los efectos de sonido, de verdad que no pude, me pasa hasta con la copia de my abandoware
¿No te deja desde la configuración de sonido de tu tarjeta ni desde los menús desplegables del propio juego?
¡Hay 3DO La Mazamorra Abandon!
peace after watching mysteries of wysteria fudging scary not even pink sheep can handle p.s. #Prankster Gangster Nation
Is this COM vs COM?
Se podrá jugar en una mac? en verdad me encantaba este juego..... aunque tardado en movimientos, la pc me madreaba muy rápido y compensaba
Tan sólo tienes que descargar e instalar la versión de "DOSBox" para MAC. En cuanto a la velocidad de movimientos, puedes corregirlo aumentando los ciclos a través de dicho emulador.
y de donde puedo descargar esa versión o como buscarlo?? muchas gracias! lo del movimiento lento no hay ningún problema! XD saludos
