A funny approach to the chess game. In the next duels we fight with the biggest tyrants known to mankind. In addition, the pawns and figures on the chessboard are caricatures of politicians and villains. Thanks to this, such characters as Tony Blair, Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong Il and George Bush can meet in "battles". The creators also tried to find funny boards, including Osama ben Laden's hiding place.

Chess Vs. the Axis of Evil is an unusual variety of computer chess, and this is because the title in a witty way refers to the problems of world terrorism. By winning another chess duel, the player contributes to peacemaking and at the same time eliminates the greatest tyrants known from the cards of history.

The chess figures on the screen refer respectively to the villains and people representing those countries who are actively involved in the fight against terrorism. The latter group includes many well-known politicians, especially those who have been actively involved in the international arena for many years. It is worth mentioning that these figures were shown in a caricatured way. The "peacekeepers" team consists of well-known personalities such as George "Dubya" Bush, Condoleeza "Ninja Condi" Rice, George Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and Tony Blair. The title page of the "evil axis" is represented by Saddam Hussein, Osama ben Laden and Kim Jong Il, among others.

The struggle is carried out on six different chessboards, representing, among others, the palace of Saddam Hussein or the hiding place of Osama ben Laden located in the mountains of Afghanistan. It is worth adding that the player can agree with whom he wants to play, and also decide to modify the official chess rules.
