Nice map
woot its time to learn chess!
Woot. I can now play Chess (one of my favourite board games - nerds shall overcome!), and Starcraft 2 (Best game.)
Yay!
This is awesome! Really great idea! Keep it up!
now this is really good work
nice job fyrby
well zerg units are very limited for chess
this is my suggestion
rook=infestor
knight=roach
bishop=hydralisk
queen=queen
king=ultralisk (considering to other races kings size)
Hey :D. Thanks for all the Feedback :). I had less time the last weeks and so I didn't work on the new version :( SORRY ;). But i already got some information about the bug and how to fix it. I think the fixed version will contain zerg ;). One Question! Who is the Zergs King?
Overlord -> Bad because its a flying unit.
Infestor -> Looks ugly ^^.
Ultralisk -> Hm... I wanted to use them as a Rook...
Maybe you got an idea ;)

OffShore, you should be posting in the forums instead of the comments of a specific map. As for the problem, make sure you have patched starcraft to the latest version, patch 11 and if it still fails, try opening it with the starcraft 2 editor or reinstalling starcraft 2 if all else fails.
Hi,Guys...just wanna ask something...i haven't played starcraft 2 for this 1/2 month...so now start back playing...i did download some new map...n it's stated "Unable to open map"...n now i just stuck with the old map...=( hope anyone can help me...please. . .

Hi Fyrby
waiting for zerg race
i test it with editor enGB and there is some bugs
on buttons instead of texts like "terran\red\etc" it shows something like this "param\value\a234fdr67"
if you could fix problems with sc2editor enGB ,so you make it popular than now
Nice map congrats
@heretician ...checking for PMS... -Nope, not untill May 23rd xD damnit, no beta key for me ... You crack me up xD ...

FYRBY -- CHECK YOUR PMS FOR YOUR WINNING NOTIFICATION OF THE KEY/ACCOUNT for SC2 BETA!!!
Verry Nice so far,
Protoss really add flare of strategic warfare, and im sure the Zerg will aswell
but i encountered a bug that sometimes a unit wont die, and remains on the field, wich will obviously cause problems when the winning unit moves to designated field,
or another bug where my unit just wont move, i checked for half an hour all possibilities why it shouldnt be possible, my turn, no check and so on... nothin found, so guess its a bug ^^
note that i encoutered the first-mentioned bug with patch 11, and the second with patch 10
Nice map, I had a lot of fun!
I think it's worth a shot for me even though I was never a chess fan, is it possible for you to include like a mini tutorial on playing chess somewhere in the future? Teh, great job and great idea.
Very, very good!!
Enjoied playing it - only my girlfriend didn't like it- she always lost xDD
I'd rate it 8/10 as i think there are very litle thing to improve.
Most of it is only Eye-Candy,
and I know, some of this was allready mentioned. anyway...
1- for example i'd change the attack- animation depending wether the target is biological, or mechanic.
for example: Reaper shot with Pistols on bio.
and throw charges on mechanics.
2- some terrain arround the "battlefield"
3- change how many times a unit have to shot on a specific unit.
for example: Marauders need one shot for an Marauder, Reaper, Ghost- and one or two shots more for an tank
4- this one is the really importent one!!!
Give the King an Self-Destruct Abillity (Give Up)
as i always ended up chasing my Girlfriends One and Only King arround the Battlefield!
Thanks i was getting bored now i have something to do xD
i've just played this. Awesome!
I'll do so. But first i have to write the triggers for castling :/ much more difficult than i thought.
nice job bro, you should make it so each player can choose the race of their chess pieces, but that can wait till we can play custom games online ;D
Very nice in general, I do think you could shorten some of the moves though. The pawn doesnt really have to do a cheer/dance everytime it kills something and a host of other things. Alternatively, you could implement an option to quicken/skip some of these.
