Battle Chess (MS-DOS) Gameplay

This is a chess game programmed by Interplay in 1988. It would be a chess game like many others, except that the pieces actually fight to the death when you capture them! Note that I'm not actually trying to win this match against the CPU, I am trying to show as many fights as possible. In the end, in fact, I lose, while it's not hard to win, this AI is quite rudimentary.

Note that it's not easy to emulate this game properly, the audio always tends to be either too fast or too slow. I think I managed to obtain a reasonable speed.

dangerous fork in the king's gambit in the beggining.

That's an interesting game. An advice given to me when I began playing was to never move my f pawn when castleing king side. the opening you chose is a dangerous one.

@gentilguy I wasn't actually trying to win this game, I wanted to show as many captures as possible since that's the best part of Battle Chess, see how I make my moves in a few seconds instead of thinking about them :)

However, I didn't know about that, so thank you for the advice, I'll keep that in mind :)
