Description:	Your pal Satan invited you and fifteen of your closest friends over for a friendly game of chess. Not trusting him one bit, you took along quite an arsenal. As you arrive at Satan's door, you are whisked away to a huge arena. Alas, as your compadres see the terrors before them, most (or all, depending on how many players you're using) die of fear. Some even implode. Now it's up to you to checkmate Satan.

Reviews:

mallo	Neat, I like the idea. The level's pretty bad tho.	x
Anonymous	It's pretty hard, but it's okay. It's a bit boring. ~1/5	x
Sonikku7	For its age, it's a cute novelty. As a serious map it really awful. Just a chess board as a Doom map with demons replacing the chess pieces.	x
