A Friendly Game of Chess is This Week's Tavern Brawl
Challenge an opponent to a game of chess! Most of your pieces will automatically attack the minion (or minions) in front of them!
Blizzard has answered the calls of the community after we asked for a brawl featuring the Chess boss in the One Night in Karazhan adventure. The brawl works exactly like the adventure boss with the difference that we now get to play against another player instead of AI.
Trivia
- This is the first time we are seeing this brawl.
- The brawl comes to us from the One Night in Karazhan Chess Boss.
- You do not gain credit for class wins in this brawl.
The Brawl
- You will either get to play as The Black King or The White King. The heroes are the same.
- Only 10 health sits on your hero, so make sure you keep up a good defense!
- You don't get to attack with the majority of your minions, they automatically attack at the end of your turn.
- Positioning is key. You'll get the best value if your minions are between his as they will hit two targets instead of one.
- If you rearrange minions by using the Castle ability. Very helpful to re-position that healer.

KEEP your free pack Blizzard. BORING as hell and a real lost of time.
Brawl fucking sucks, lost all my nerves 'cuz i got white king LITERALLY 15 TIMES IN A ROW.
RNG Brawl: Boo, coin flipping.
Chess Brawl: Boo, long and boring.
Sometimes I wonder wtf does the community wants.
I wish they would make this mode permanent, i find it more fun to play than actual HS...
Hs = Play on curve and win
This Brawl = Actual thinking
Each deck has 15 cards plus your face = 32 Chess pieces. How thoughtful... (Where are the bishops?)
I'm pretty sure there are 2 bishops in each deck.
I'm an idiot. You are so right... whoops
When I play black my opponent always plays in an aggro style and sets up lethal by turn 7...
Get good, and learn proper minion placement.
I emoted "I see mate in 4" in the beginning, and then destroyed my opponent's entire board on turn 4. Good times.
worst tavern brawl ever
Get good. This is one of the best brawls they've made yet. Learn how to place your minions right. They don't give you the Castle hero power for nothing.
The only disadvantage the Black King has is having the awkward rebuttal emotes; not as good as White King's.
Not a bad brawl, although a bit too slow and it needs a way of card draw, otherwise it comes down to RNG/draw more times than it should and skill becomes less important. Nevertheless a fresh brawl which can serve as a base to build some other brawls of a similar kind.
5-0 (1 as white, 4 as black king), easy brawl, easy quest :)
Love the amount of absolute retards that haven't a clue about this brawl. Did they never do chess in Karazhan?
This is one brawl that actually requires thinking. Too many (shaman?) players just plonking down as much as possible on curve not thinking about positioning or even double attacks or the damage each one does and trying to rush you down. One guy even played one pawn against my pawn and didn't coin to get a double attack but the next turn coins to get 3 v 3, again no double attack!
Makes me realise how many idiots play this game.
Easiest 4-0 ever.
It's pretty hard to digest when they play all on curve and cannot win yet.
THIS BRAWL IS STUPIDDDDDD! (Trogg voice)
Everybody complains about RNG brawl and when we got one with skill everybody complains again. You guys are never happy.
Full RNG? This is one of the most interesting & brain-using brawl since the Christmas brawl last year... kudos to Blizzard for something fresh... Serious credit needs to go to the one who thought of the Chess Boss...
