Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

- Different environments: You can now fight to the death with your army in different locations.
Gameplay
Like the original Battle Chess game developed by Interplay Corp, this remake also lives up to its expectations. The animations made the first game popular amongst gamers because it was the first chess game that didn't have to look \"boring.\"
In this game, you get to play it in 3D and experience the full beauty of the animations. There are also additional features that improve upon the original game, such as the addition of multiplayer and skill-based scenarios.
If you like to play chess but are bored of the checkered board and pieces just being swiped off after a move, Battle Chess will bring back that excitement.
