FINALLY.
I've been waiting forever for a decent chess game for Live. I still can't believe it took them 2 years to crank one out the door.

But this is okay I guess.
Mono wins the thread.
Battle Chess was the best chess, and would be a highly welcomed addition to Live Arcade.
What the shit?
Different rules, same board and pieces.
Unless they do something stupid and price it for more than 400 points.
For anyone looking on how to play the game or play it better, track down that version (I think there was a PC release too). It's gotta be really cheap now. Sadly I don't think it's BC.

This is good too though, an opportunity to make my mother feel worse about herself.
Muahahaha....
CHECK, bitch!
There was a decent chess game released to the arcade a couple months ago, that also included a few other games with it, and camera support if I remember right.
unfortunately no game since then has had the awesome theme song.

Also..uh..I was totally in Chess club. I will be getting this, and laying the smackdown on you people.
Prsh, it's all about Archon.
Didn't that one cost 800 pts (can't remember the name off hand)? I forget why I didn't get it specifically ... I do remember it getting horrible reviews.
