Takes about an Hour without thinking to play a single level. The Characters March across the screen for what seems like an eternity and then you have to deal with Battle scenes which is a joke. Plus once i attacked a pawn with my king and The battle scene showed my king pull out a Glock and Cap the Pawn. Dont ask me how a Glock was invented during 1100's but I know about it as much as you do.

the sound effects are pretty Boring, Typical Bleeps and Blurbs, Not much else about the game that is totally enjoyable. Its Chess, And you Can turn off the Moving character option and just make it chess which means no Battle Cutscenes and no Animation, wHich is better, but still boring.

on top of all this The AI is just way too difficult to outsmart even on level 1. Its like it knows my moves before i do, and i haven't won a single game. I played it to death and Won not once, Not twice, Not even a third time.
Kind of sad really. But if your looking for something to play on your NES or want something that involves chess but isn't as boring as Chessmaster, Then Battle chess is your main man, But i warn you, while it is enjoyable at first, it will be Rarely played afterward...
