    It's an island with a chess board on it not that hard to understand really.
    So after a while of wanting to play chess in reach because of a certain
    April Fools joke, I made a chess... in reach. To play just pick up the pieces
    and move them around appropriately

    OK a few notes on playing the map:
    First and most importantly it has to be played in forge mode,
    Secondly i recommend not to move the pieces up or down or rotate anything,
    And lastly the chess players have to be the colors green and purple.

    overview of the board
    (another note: The king is the brace and the queen is the antenna)

    this is the green side

    [​IMG]
    and this is the purple side

    and i do believe that is all, if you like it please hit the like button
    and I'll see you next time

    PS: this is my first post here so please go easy

    Great concept for a map !! Thumbs up for that !!

    PS: if I wanted to be really picky then I'd say that the only flaw would be that your king and queen on purple side could do with swapping around :)

    I'm downloading because it'll be a completely different perspective of halo reach...

    Why?...Black queen on black square, white on white, or in this case purple on black, green on white.

    gingerninjasam is right the queen always stays on her respected color and they are always directly across from eachother

    Pretty cool idea yeah I remember when they told us about Halo Chess... good times. Would be better if you could somehow make an actual working custom game type for it but it's still an original concept and looks good.

    I'm am shocked no one had thought of this earlier, and at the same time very grateful you did. Simple.... yet elegant.

    He does not need to swap the king and queen, It's correct.

    There was pretty much this exact game in Halo 3 but with a unpickupable board, but in reach with Colored blocks it will be easier to differentiate between teams.
