Looking for a fun and interactive way to play chess in Second Life? Dutchie's animated playable chess is fully functional and can be played on a table or on the ground.
Each version of the chess board has two chess-playing animations, supplemented with Bento hand animations. Turn your AO and Bento hands AO off to see the Bento chess game animations at their best.
PLEASE NOTE: There is no table included.
-----
IN SHORT
• animated playable chess set in 2 versions: Table and Floor
• each board has 2 play animations plus bento hand animations
• land impact of 18 prims in standby mode, 34 at most during use
• mod/copy/no transfer
• 100% original mesh by Froukje Hoorenbeek
-----
DECORATIVE STANDBY MODE
When the board is first rezzed, it rezzes with a decorative set of pieces. The board in this standby mode has a land impact of 22 prims.
Once a game is complete or any time you would like to wipe the board, you can do this in the menu by selecting 'Reset board'. This will bring the board back to the decorative standby mode.
The board's owner can also choose to clear all the pieces from the board, which brings the land impact down to 2 prims.
------
HOW TO PLAY
Sit on the board first. This will present you with a menu that allows you to adjust the animations if needed.
Then click one of the buttons that say 'click here for chess menu', then 'Start Game'. This will rez the 32 real chess pieces on the board.
The first sitter can now choose to either play solo or wait for a second sitter to join by sitting on the board, clicking the 'click here for chess menu' button, and selecting 'Join Game'.
The colors are assigned randomly and may have to rez again to be closest to where their player sits. But the board can be flipped and sides can be switched if needed.
-----
THE GAME ITSELF
The game works just as chess does. More info on the rules can be found on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess#Rules
The board will allow most moves, however, it will not allow you to move your King into the way of danger, and it will return an invalid move.
When you get a pawn to the other side, you can choose what you would like to promote your pawn to via a menu.
You can offer a draw at any time by selecting it in the menu.
-----
BOARD CHAT
The board chat can be toggled on and off by the owner within the menu.

Kept looking around finding broken boards. This one looks great AND works to a T. Well done
Fantastic
Works flawlessly and looks really good. Thank you!
Great Chess Game, works very well
This chess set looks good and works very well. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys chess in sl.
Checkmate~
Perfection. Sleek, low prim, functional, and HD. My only note to new buyers is that the "click here for chess menu" button is ON the board itself, and not in the menu of buttons that pops up. Took me a while to figure that out, but it's up and runnin' and absolutely awesome!
Best chess board.
Low prim, animated, and checks for invalid moves. An ideal chess board if on a homestead.
Great Chess board very well recommended.
realistic sized board and a great working addition in your place.
I do have a suggestion thought, to have a more then one verity of textures, and a resize feature; I myself like old style wooden boards maybe it would be added someday, but over all its a great piece.
