Here's an additional note about the giveaway of Chess Ultra on the
Epic Games
Store mentioned
here
yesterday. In addition to the base game, there's also an Easter Island Chess
Set that's
also available for free (thanks RedEye9). Word is:
These head-like,
monolithic chess pieces have been beautifully crafted, bringing the Moai not
only to life - but to the chess board.
This pack contains a chess set only, which can be used in any environment in the
game.
I played two games of regular chess vs the computer on this game yesterday... it's pretty good, viewing angle/size seems a little weird for some reason? To be fair, I didn't fiddle with the default settings at all.
I should get back into chess for real, I am getting too old to play FPS games vs the youngsters reflex wise. Time to start heading out to the parks to play chess and grumble about shit.
