Crash 69%Review:
Although it can play standard chess at a variety of levels, albeit very slowly at higher levels, the unique selling features here are the alternate pieces and animated sequences.The arcade sub-games are colourful and fast moving but are just a brief and annoying interlude for chess fans.
