Play Battle Chess II: Chinese Chess Online
Control the red or black army, move your pieces like cannons and horses, and checkmate your opponent's general in this animated chess battle.
Battle Chess II: Chinese Chess came out in 1990 as part of the MS-DOS Classic Games series, developed by Interplay Productions. It was a time when strategy games were gaining complexity, and this title offered a fresh take on a traditional board game with a digital twist.
You control the red or black army, moving pieces like cannons, horses, and advisors across the board with the goal of checkmating the opponent's general. The game features animated combat sequences where pieces physically clash when captures occur, adding a layer of visual feedback to each move. The rules follow Xiangqi closely, including unique mechanics like the cannon's requirement to jump over another piece to capture. Matches can be methodical, demanding foresight and patience, and the difficulty ramps up noticeably against the computer opponent. It feels like a thoughtful, sometimes surprising, duel of wits brought to life.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
