Lego Chess

Lego Chess is a Lego-themed strategy video game based on chess, developed by Krisalis Software and published by Lego Media.

The rules of the game can be changed to cater to many popular variations, though the most common rules of chess are the default rules. During a game, clicking on a piece will show the available places to move to. If a piece is captured, a short video plays showing the captured character being caught, with each different capture having its own video clip. These clips are rarely related to chess. Because pawns, knights, rooks, kings, queens and bishops all have separate video clips for catching other pawns, knights, rooks, queens and bishops, there are 140 clips total:

60 western themed (2 sets of 30, depending on the capturing team), 60 pirate themed (2 sets of 30, depending on the capturing team) A special one when tutorial mode is completed 3 western themed (from story mode) 3 winning western themed 3 losing western themed 3 pirate themed 3 winning pirate themed 3 losing pirate themed An introductory cartoon

Story Mode n Story Mode, the player can pick either a western or pirates theme. After selecting the theme, a three-game chess tournament against the AI begins. In the first game the AI is at 25% difficulty, in the second game the AI is at 50% difficulty, and in the third and final game, the AI is at 75% difficulty. After completing a story, a printable certificate is rewarded.

Tutorial Mode The tutorial mode teaches how to play chess.

Versus Mode In this mode, the player can choose the difficulty of the game when playing against the AI. Multi-player mode can also be selected here. Alternatively, the player can watch the computer play against itself.

In addition, a third, traditional chess set (though still constructed from Lego bricks) can be chosen, and all three sets can be mixed (pirates playing against western, for example).
