Battle chess II and Bobby Fisher Teaches Chess
A couple of things...
Battle Chess II was dueling 'chinese chess' an ancient traditional oriental variation, there are protecting pawns in front of only half the major backrow pieces. All caution to the wind, bombs away at the major pieces from the start, such as cannon takes knight on move 1! Less than 1% Xiangqi games are draws in master tournament play. Runs fine in DosBox 0.72. For easy to win chess, try BFTC (here at abandonia). It also has all the lessons (interactive) from the famous book, no memorization of openings, 'cause that's how Bobby learned to play. Can be set to hard levels, but lower ones are the easiest to beat computer chess anywhere. CrowDriver! |

Great fun! Though I need to brush up on my chess playing skills so I can beat the computer... I lose even at the lowest skill level.

Really? This is most curious. Why would someone abandon a newer version of the same game? :blink:

I remember playing this in 1988 or 1989 on the computers at school, in monochrome. It still hasn't gotten any easier (I STILL lose on novice level), but it's just as much fun with the pieces.

I like Battle Chess coz it brings back memories of my first PC...a Pentium II...those were the days...My first game was Gods...which you recently uploaded, but it runs so slow on this AMD Duron with DosBox. (too bad)

Mine won't work under Xp for some reason.
I tried changing the compatibility settings, but that didn't work. Any suggestions? |

No Idea I'm afraid.
I've had no problem with it under XP, can't imagine why there would be any problem. What is it doing? If it's not starting at all it might be that you got a bad download. Maybe you should try again! Sorry I can't help more. If you post exactly what it is or isn't doing then maybe I can help further. |
