Immediately, Interplay took them to court for copyright infringement, preventing the game from being released to the public. In 2010 Topware developed a similiar program to Battle Chess called Battle vs Chess. The franchise lagged and became obsolete. But the last version was released in 1994 and soon Battle Chess was not playable on Windows PCs. For its time (1988), it was very cool.įast forward to 1991 and Battle Chess Enhanced by Interplay was released and available for the PC. In 16 years of keeping up with online chess software, one of the most frequent question is, 'Where can I get Battle Chess?' For those of you not familiar with Battle Chess, it brought our game to life by combining a chess logic system with colorful, humorous, and dramatic three-dimensional animations.
