> Did you know that when you play chess, you are not actually commanding real knights and bishops to fight each other?

You reminded me of a game called "Battle Chess", in which bishops hold glaives, the rook is a stone golem, pawns carry short swords. And yes, they do battle to the death in accordance to the rules in chess.

I played it years ago, and found that the death scene was different for each thing attacked. It was quite entertaining :)

Some of the scenes were pretty funny and unexpected, too.

I remember the first time I saw a king kill a bishop. I was expecting something fancy, and instead the king just pulled out a handgun and opened fire.
