Battle vs Chess is a great 3D, multi-platform chess game. It is available for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii, PC and Mac.
Battle vs Chess features single-player and multi-player modes. The single-player mode includes a skirmish mode where you play a classic game of chess, a tutorial, where you learn how to play the game and a campaign mode, among a few others. You can slightly change the settings in each mode to your liking.
I played a quick game against the default difficulty level and I thought it was good. The computer opponent wasn't dumb, which is the case in many chess games. I purposely gave it chances to beat me, and it did.
In short, Battle vs Chess might not be a cheap game. But it is great. It has great graphics, lots of modes, and it can get the little ones interested in this great game. For that alone, I recommend it.
Pros
