Thanks @crogonint, added the file in the downloads

Well, no guaranties, but after extensive searching and scouring archives, I managed to find a copy of the patches that used to be listed on cdrom.com here:
https://patches-scrolls.de/patch/504/7/38795/download
That's to the actual download page for what appears to be the patch listed above.

The patch linked up top under 'How to Play' has disappeared. Does anyone have a backed up copy they can share here?

Misleading information. This version is NOT for purchase on GOG! Please remove the 'buy here' link because it's not the same one!

Kouga2018-08-070 point

This is NOT the version available on GOG. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. They have the original (essentially) demo version of this game. They do not have this version.

Game seems to have problems running in DOSBox on Win 10. I mounted all as described. Game first starts normal, but crashes at the first battle.
Anyone else who has this problem and/or a solution for this?

i cant get it to work, is their any way to download it without a cd

Gossman2016-04-132 points DOS version

There is a .cue file along with the .iso. It is best to use these together. When mounting the image in dosbox I used this and it worked fine: (Your directory structure may be different.)
imgmount c c:dosbchesscdcdbattle_ches.cue -t iso -fs iso

imgmount c 'the folder containing the iso' -t iso
imgmount d 'folder containing the game'

I installed the game per the instructions listed above, and I can't get the audio to work not to mention that the game when started goes straight into a chess match and when the peices are set to run their animations when one peice takes another the game freezes and nothing happens. I am running this on dosbox .74 with no luck.

This game run fine on DosBox Emulator 0.74 for Ubuntu. Just burn the cue image with K3B cd & dvd burner software and copy into a regular CD 700MB after the compilation is done. Just open the CD and fine the Installation setup and run on Wine then wait for the installation is complete. And enjoy this amazing program. :)

Andrew2013-11-260 point DOS version

I have tried this using D-fend reloader, does not work.. I also installed windows xp on one of my hardrives, still no luck. trying a copy of Windows 95 to see if that works

ParticleMan2013-06-200 point DOS version

You must mount the CD image. For instance:
imgmount d c:gamesbchesscdcdbchesscd.bin -t iso

ivrin2013-01-050 point DOS version

not working. same problem as frustrato said

frustrato2012-10-250 point DOS version

wtf. how do you get this to work? the readme isn't that clear, and I've followed all the instructions for d-fend reloaded.
whenever i click on it in dfend it comes up and then the dos window runs a few lines that have something to do with virtual memory and then closes itself and says there was an error
