Battlechess Contest
Have you got what it takes to beat the man who beat the man who beat the man who beat the Amiga at BattleChess? Then role up and let's have a nostalgic and friendly game! We can do this one of two ways: 1) Either 2 people slug it out against one another with others offering friendly advice OR 2) We all go up against the Amiga on hardest level! Although I've heard for experienced chess players this might not be a challenge. I'll update the above screen grab of the board on my webspace as moves are made, so just press refresh in your browser to see how the game is panning out and join in the fun! I'm totally useless at chess because I never play! But I'm sure there must be some veterans out there among you! Well as you see the board is set up and ready for action. Any takers? Are we going human vs human or EAB vs Amiga 500 Last edited by Bloodwych; 05 July 2002 at 21:24. |

Ok we'll go for EAB vs Amiga.
EAB play as red, Amiga blue. Who's going to be brave enough to go first for EAB? |

you should also take a screenshot of a top-view of the chessboard. (like for the coordinates table)

Come on people! Let's aim for one move a day at least from a few different EAB members! What's wrong? Scared of the Amiga "whipping your candy asses?" as the Americans would say! |

the problem is that I don't have my top-view of the board yet !
even if the 3D view is cool for animation, it's a pain for real chess reflection |

I'm not adding coordinates to the WinUAE screengrab! That's quadrupling my work, you're worse than Rck! There is a board with coordinates that sits right next to the top view of the battlechess board. It's easy to use as long as you're in 1024x768 or higher! If you're using lower res I MAY reduce the size of the grabs. Last edited by Bloodwych; 12 June 2002 at 10:46. |
