I loved Battle Chess.

I never played.

But at high school I did once get asked to play the regional chess championships. In a moment that fed deeply into stereotypes, it was three asian boys who were friends of mine and the tournament needed four. They made me the top seed, and over the course of several rounds we progressed all the way to playing the last game at the top table. My contribution was notably minimal, but it wasn't nil. I won at least one, maybe two. The rest cleaned up the lower seeds. I think we all lost at the top table though.

I would like to, but we'll have to find a time where we can both play some time.
