Cool and Funny
The Good
Watching chess pieces do battle was an entertaining and often funny event. The best was the "black knight" tribute to Monty Python ("Holy Grail" movie). Watching pawns take out more powerful pieces was good for laughs as well.
The Bad
Once the novelty of the game wore off, seeing the antics of the various pieces got boring. Also, even though I had an EGA machine, this still only displayed 4 colors (you could get 8 on a Tandy machine).
The Bottom Line
Bottom line: chess pieces come to life as you play the game.
