122	->''"''TabletopGame/{{Chess}}'' casts you as king of a small country at war with a rival country of equivalent military power. There is little background story to speak of, and by and large the units in the game are utterly lacking any character whatsoever. The faceless, nondescript units are dubbed arbitrarily such labels as "Knight" and "Bishop" while their appearance reveals nothing to suggest these roles. To make matters worse, the units on both playable sides are entirely identical aside from a simple color palette swap.\
123	The setting of the conflict is equally uninspiring and consists merely of a two-color grid so as to represent the two warring factions. Adding insult to injury, there is only one available map - and it's pathetically small, an 8x8 matrix (''Red Alert'' maps are up to 128x128 in size). The lack of more expansive battlefields makes ''Chess'' feel like little more than an over-glorified ''VideoGame/{{Minesweeper}}''."''
124	-->--A satirical [[https://www.strategypage.com/humor/articles/20010731.asp 'review' of chess]]
