Take over the world of Chess with your PSP.

December 3rd, 2006 (6:29pm) - Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. has announced that Online Chess Kingdoms has shipped to retail stores nationwide for the PSP.

Online Chess Kingdoms brings the classic game of chess to the PSP by introducing new modes of play, detailed fantasy graphics and infrastructure support in which players battle for control in a persistent online world.

Players can jump into a quick game or venture online to test their skills against other players in a massive fantasy world. Online Chess Kingdoms is set in an ancient mystic land composed of five different warring factions. Players choose to compete as one of the five kingdoms with 3D animated chess sets, complete with powerful magicians, fearsome warriors, and ethereal spirits.

By claiming neutral regions and going head-to-head with other online players in contested areas, players become part of an ongoing struggle for conquest that is played out on the checkered squares of the chess board. Online leader boards document the contributions of each player to their faction.

Online Chess Kingdoms is rated "E" for Everyone by the ESRB and available now for a suggested retail price of $29.99.
