OK chess kombat it looks like a awesome new feature added to MK. The pieces will have cool features. I'll add the rules next for people who don't know them.

The Basics:

Rumors have it that you can choose which characters you want to use as pieces. When opposing pieces meet up on the board the two characters will fight in versus mode. Taking the two elements of thought and strategy and putting a game together that will require the excessive use of both. The characters are to have special emphasis on "classes", such as mages, conjurers, wizards, etc., who bear special skills of specificity, such as "healers", etc. Most magazines say that one has the ability to set traps like in battle. The main goal also is said to be to protect your emperor or king, who is defenseless.

Written at Gamespot- "...The "leader" is the equivalent of your king in standard chess. Your "champion" is essentially your queen and is the most mobile of your pieces. The "grunt" is your pawn, and it serves as cannon fodder. The last two classes, the sorcerer and shifter, don't have ties to traditional chess and are more in tune with MK sensibilities. You'll actually have two sorcerers--in good and evil who are able to cast spells. The good sorcerer will cast support magic that will let you heal, protect, and resurrect fallen pieces. Your less virtuous spellcaster will be able to do all the fun stuff, like instantly kill one of your opponent's pieces, teleport one of your pieces anywhere on the board, and sacrifice one piece to heal another. Your probably thinking your sorcerors can do all the work but you can only use these spells once over the course of the battle. Finally, your shifter is a unique piece that transforms into an exact copy of his or her opponent. - You will have 2 sorcerers, and each will have special magical abilities. Each sorcerer will represent one of the traditional forces: good or evil. Your evil sorcerer will, obviously, be a master of black magical powers that do damage to the enemy one such power being an instant death to an enemy unit. The sorcerer of good, however, will be more of a healing aid, helping your Mortal Kombat units to restore their health after grueling battles with the enemy. Between your two sorcerers, you will have access to 8 different spells such as resurrect, imprison, healing, etc. - You will have a really powerful unit known as a champion. This will be your primary fighter, and can be compared to the Queen of the standard Chess game, your kombatant in the game. - You will have a Leader as well. Much like Chess' king piece, your leader must be protected at all times, lest you lose the game to your opponent, and hence you must destroy the opponent's leader. - The next unit would be the the Shifter. His ability entails turning into your opponent, much like Shang Tsung and Shinnok's abilities in prior Mortal Kombat games. - The final unit, the "pawn" of the game, is the Grunt. Your Grunts should be your fighters that you are most familiar with as you will do the bulk of your fighting with this plentiful unit. - It should also be said that strength of each unit will differ based on what class they are on the board. The strength of, say, Ermac as a Grunt will be considerably less than if he was, say, the Champion. Grunts move either 2 spaces forward or one space diagonal in the beginning of play, and can move varying distances based on what part of the board that they are on, much like a pawn in Chess. The attacking Grunt will also receiving a +10 health point bonus as a reward for being the aggressor, though the battle between Grunts will normally be much quicker than a typical game of Mortal Kombat as your health is very limited. The option for a fatality is given, to your enjoyment. As far as features, there are two green spaces on the board. These spaces will recharge your players' health if you manage to get that particular unit on that square. Each opponent also has the ability to set a trap on a particular spot on the board, which adds another element of strategy to the game that emulates the new death traps set up in typical Mortal Kombat: Deception play. One very neat feature is the remaking of old Mortal Kombat backgrounds into 3D!

But when you beat the King in Chess Kombat what do you think will happen?

Will a fatality happen or will there be a cool victory or will it matter what arena your on.
According to where I got the rules it said that a fatality we'll be a option for are enjoyment Woo HOO!! Pictures of Chess Kombat first the arenas ABOVE IS THE DEAD POOL ABOVE IS THE PORTAL THIS ONE IS EITHER THE GRAVEYARD BEING THAT IT'S FOGGY OR THE LUNG HAI TEMPLE. ALSO ITS A OLD PIC BECAUSE IT HAS QUAN CHI AND KITANA IN IT MEANING THEY WERE TESTING IT USING MKDA PEOPLE. I thought these should be added because of the Background arena does anyone know which this on is its some kind of temple.

Ok this is a New Arena founded by Dmitch It looks like a arena in the future?????ANyone know what it is? HERE IT IS THE PIT FINALLY WE SEE THE PIT!!!!!
