LEGO Chess is a LEGO Licensed Game released in 1998 for Windows. As its name implies, it is a game centered around playing chess, with three different modes: Tutorial, Story, and Versus. In Tutorial Mode, The King teaches you the basics of how to play chess, and a couple of moves like castling and en passant. Story Mode has two different sets, a Western story featuring a sheriff trying to capture three bank robbers, and a Pirate story, featuring a Naval captain finding a treasure map and a pirate captain trying to steal it from him. Having pieces take other pieces allows for some cartoony shorts to play to show exactly how these pieces took each other. Versus mode allows players to play against each other using either generic pieces, or the players' choice of the Western/Pirate sets, though if you attempt to play Western vs Pirates, unfortunately no cartoony scenes will play.In many ways, LEGO Chess served as something of an early indicator of the style of game and humor that future LEGO games would go on to feature. While the game is certainly rough, given it was made for DOS machines in 1998, it was a modest success, and its cutscenes live on in the memories of many players who grew up with the game. | |

| LEGO Chess (Video Game) / int_16cb5ffe | comment |
Not-So-Abandoned Building: Zig-zagged in the Western, because the sheriff knows the robber is in the abandoned fort somewhere, but no soldiers can be found. The bandit has tied them all to barrels, and if he wins, he leaves the sheriff tied up with them. | |

Pit Trap: In the Western Queen takes Pawn scene, the pawn sets one of these. Unfortunately, he sets it too well, and the chieftess is able to walk her horse right over it. The pawn has to jump on it a few times to get it to give. | |

Walk the Plank: The defeat cutscene of the second pirate level has the Naval Captain be forced to swim with the fishes. The victory scene from that same level has the Pirate Captain walk it instead. As this is a kids' game, both manage to float to the surface seconds after and gets rescue by their respective crews. Turned on its head in the Rook takes Queen scene, where the rook bounces on the plank and sends the queen overboard. In the Queen takes Rook scene, however, the Rook dives headfirst into a sandbar. | |
