Lego Chess is a computer chess simulation game using Lego Minifigs for the pieces.

The rules of the game can be changed to cater to many popular variations, though the most common rules of chess are default. During a game, clicking on a piece will show the available places to move to, and if a piece is captured a short comical video plays showing the captured character being caught, with each different capture having its own movie (and they rarely have anything related to chess in the clips). Because pawns, knights, rooks, kings, queens and bishops all have separate clips for catching other pawns, knights, rooks, queens and bishops, there are 140 clips total: 60 western themed (2 sets of 30, depending on the capturing team), 60 pirate themed (2 sets of 30, depending on the capturing team), a special one when one completes tutorial mode, 3 western themed story mode; 3 winning western; 3 losing western, 3 pirate themed; 3 winning pirate; 3 losing pirate, and an introduction cartoon. The characters in the clips are different, depending on what side they are on, resulting in 100 separate video clips, which can be viewed in the "Scrap Book" after they have occurred in the game. The queen take rook / rook take queen cartoons are similar for both Wild West and Pirates.
