Players can also remove or add pieces from gameplay before or during the game. However, animations for capturing pieces are disabled when playing with mixed sets. In addition, a third, traditional chess set (though still constructed from Lego bricks) can be chosen, and all three sets can be mixed (pirates playing against western, for example). Multi-player mode can also be selected here.Īlternatively, the player can watch the computer play against itself. Versus mode In this mode, the player can choose the difficulty of the game when playing against the AI. The King on his throne was also a Lego set, packaged with the first release of the game. For example, it is said that the reason knights can jump over other pieces is that they ride BMX Motor Bikes.

The Chess King slightly modernizes the explanations of the pieces. The player is taught by 'The Chess King', a Lego King who talks like, and who supposedly commands the white army. Tutorial mode The tutorial mode teaches how to play chess, from the basics of movement for the different pieces, to advanced playing techniques. (Using the same example, either the sheriff catches a bandit, one for each match, or all of them escape.) After completing a story, a printable certificate is rewarded. After each match is over, another cutscene plays, with the protagonists either succeeding or failing the task, depending on the match's outcome. In the western theme, a is trying to capture three bank robbers, and in the pirate theme, a soldier is trying to beat some pirates to a treasure. Before each match, a plays, ending with the having a task to complete. In the first game the AI is at 25% difficulty, in the second game the AI is at 50% difficulty, and in the third and final game, the AI is at 75% difficulty. After selecting the theme, a three-game chess tournament against the begins. Story mode In story mode, the player can pick either a or theme. Because pawns, knights, rooks, kings, queens and bishops all have separate video clips for catching other pawns, knights, rooks, queens and bishops, there are 140 clips total.

If a piece is captured, a short video plays showing the captured character being caught, with each different capture having its own video clip. During a game, clicking on a piece will show the available places to move to.
