Any 3DVision compatible Chess Games?

[quote="BazzaLB"]Does anyone know of any 3DVision compatible chess games? (Probably not the most popular category) :) I checked out the one listed in the voting poll (chessmaster 10th edition) but it seems its a red/cyan analglyph style 3D only. [/quote] try battle vs chess.

[quote="BazzaLB"][quote="mike_ar69"]Lol - I'm going to have a look through each mode/option to see. There seems to be some wierd stuff - if I play it it will be good old classic chess for me anyway.[/quote] Make sure you report back. I am looking for a decent chess game that works for 3DTvPlay. I could only find something on Steam called Battle vs Chess. Maybe its a different name in my region.[/quote] No it's different, I saw that one too. I'm close to sorting this out actually, done fog halo/smoke/heat haze, need to check 'in game' special effects like characters fighting or whatever.

Make sure you report back. I am looking for a decent chess game that works for 3DTvPlay. I could only find something on Steam called Battle vs Chess. Maybe its a different name in my region.

[url]http://www.superxstudios.com/projects/nvchess/[/url] I've had this for many years. Works fine in 3d. It's very simple. It says demo version on that site, but I've always been able to play a game or two of chess when I want to. I used it to teach one of my sons.

Apparently Interplay sued the developer's because the name "Battle vs Chess" was too much like their old Amiga game "Battle Chess" so the name was changed in the U.S to "Check vs Mate". This sounds like it has some pretty whacky game modes. I would just like some nice animated standard chess and perhaps challenges and puzzles too, but all confirming to proper chess rules.

There is "standard" chess in it in "skirmish" mode with several difficulty levels, with normal rules, and puzzles. The "battle" modes are nonsense crap (there are two modes, one is a QTE thing which is stupid, and one is like a hack n slash thing, but equally stupid).

Damn I had seen Battle vs Chess on BundleStars for pretty cheap, I would have grabbed it if I knew it would have worked in 3D, nevermind actually being fixed! I most likely went to check on steam and couldn't find anything about it either, so didn't bother with it. edit: noticed Cannon Fodder 3 on BS for only $2 ... opinions on steam seem kinda love/hate, wonder if 3D works at all.

Put fix up on blog. [url]http://helixmod.blogspot.com/2013/12/check-vs-mate-3d-vision-fix.html[/url] Anyone who has this game, let me know if there are any issues with it. It looks great now :-) I actually learned a couple of new tricks doing just this little fix, so it was worth it for me even if no one else cares :-) I have two presets to toggle hud depth, but I still allow it to change with convergence - the hud depth stays relative to the front of the chess board when you zoom in using the mouse wheel. This is new for me, not done this before and it works quite well. the presets cater for the "normal" view and the "battlemode" view where there are health bars over chess pieces. I think the battlemodes are crap and won't ever play that way, but it's covered for anyone who does.

Thanks mike. I will be using it as I grabbed a copy of this via steam sale for 10 bux (that may still seem expensive for a chess game to some people :) ). Doubt I will play anything other than classic chess. I'm not much cop at classic chess but like the odd game from time to time. Edit: fix works great. I wish the devs spent less time on silly battle modes and added things like game state saving and more chess sets. A mode whereby you can setup the board in order to play your own challenge (like ones published in newspapers of old). Unless I am missing something?

Well I guess that confirms that, tbh was a bit worried. @mike might want to make patch name Check vs Mate / Battle vs Chess

Besides, he's stepping back from fixes anyway.
