This game is a true classic! My mom bought me this game in a six-pack of Lego PC games back in 2006, but when I tried to play it on my old HP Pavilion a700n PC with Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 on it, it started to have technical problems, and sure enough, it disappeared from my CD-ROM game collection right away. I don't remember what the problems were because that was over a decade ago. I haven't had the desire to get this game again until now, and it works on my Dell Optiplex GX260 PC with Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 on it and it does work like a charm without the official patch! This is one of the best Lego games! In this game, you get to play chess with Lego minifigures on a giant board in various environments, which is a unique concept. You can play through tutorial levels with the king. They are really informative and helpful for when playing the actual games. They also talk about the history of chess. The cutscenes are fun to watch. If you like Lego and chess, you'll love this game! Even though it's nineteen years old now, it's still a lot of fun! I'd recommend it!Read full review

This is a good game for introducing children to the game of chess. It has two story modes, a learn to play tutor, and a quick game feature. The game is several years old so it requires a path to work on windows XP (not sure about Vista or Windows 7) but the patch is available for free on-line. It also has an on-line game where you can play against others, though it is not widely used so finding someone to play with is tough. Overall, a fun game assuming the price is reasonable.
More than 20 years ago my son enjoed it and fell in love with chess. So I bought it once more to present it to my grandson (hopefully with same outcome). Graphics is from '90 so do not expect much in comparision with today's games. But it's educatiing and catchy.
