GameFocus - Had you said to me four weeks ago that I would be leaving PAX excited about a chess game, I would have probably slugged you. Not that there is anything wrong with chess, mind you.

Who does not know the wonderful game of chess. It is believed that the game originated in India. Over the years, the rules have changed, making chess what it is today.

"Check vs. Mate is a title I heard about while over in Europe back in 2010 (known as Battle vs. Chess in the European countries). It was a title that promised me my childhood. The 3-page fold-out poster that came with the local German magazine offered me so much. Battle Chess would be back with a burning vengeance." (darkzero)
