hey ^^ after alot attempts on shade of aran in karazhan, we decided to call it a night... but instead of portalling my ass out, i went to the chessroom. i had to use invisibility about 7 times, and it took me some time to get there, but imho it was worth it :P

this is ''white'' : alliance :P

As for the game itself, its not a normal game of chess :P u get to control 1 piece. if u want to control another piece u need to wait 20 sec. and u cant just kill a piece by stepping on it. u need to use skills. u can move 10 pieces at the same time if ur with 10 players, wich will make it way to easy :P u can step over anything with ur queen >_< and every piece has his own skills. its kinda weird but much FUN!!

Well if your piece goes onto the square of an opposing piece, you don't take that piece?

Do all the different pieces move in conjunction with the laws of chess?

How do you actually win?

u cant take pieces, u can move ur piece in front of the other piece, and then u start to fight him, simply the forst one to lose his HP loses and get kicked out of the field.

not all pieces move in conjunction with the law of chess. ur queen can jump over any piece and to the weirdest places. ur horse doest move normally either. but for example ur king, he moves like its supposed to be.

kill the king of the horde and u win.. theres no such thing as checkmate, just nuke theyre king and u win. kinda easy and soloable

also, ''caster'' pieces can attack from a distance and even with AOE. ur walkers can heal .. :P rofl

P.S i lost the event several times on purpose cause otherwsie i wud have screwed the event for the others

Amusing to see the "Queens" (the strongest unit in chess) are represented by Warlocks and Mages, and the "Kings" (arguably the weakest class in chess) are depicted by Warriors :lol:

if you wanna understand better what's happening in the chess event, watch this movie (scroll to around 12:00 where the chess event is starting)

http://www.warcraftmovies.com/cn/stream.php?id=33353

as pyro said, each class (piece) have its own abilities (on a 5sec CD from what i know from the beta movies). The abilities have fixed values (4000dmg for casters, 1000 for warrior's cleave etc). This is a fight where your raid gear won't matter at all (might aswell trying it in greens, even naked i guess) but instead, the coordination is crucial (TS / Vent is a must to use)

cant just nuke the king, as it will mean your pieces will get owned in notime. have to deal with many pieces of the opposite side before attempting to kill the king

Yeah being able to solo it didn't seem right.

well, trust me, we did it tonight, and if you took one of the mages or healers you could, as they have range, i reccomend the mages, they rule.
