Which studio developed the 1998 game Lego Chess?

The story behind the answer

Krisalis Software developed the 1998 game Lego Chess. The studio created the Lego-themed chess title for Microsoft Windows, while Lego Media published it.

Lego Chess was one of three early games released by Lego Media International on November 11, 1998, alongside Lego Creator and Lego Loco. It combines standard chess with animated Lego pieces, themed boards, tutorials, story scenarios, and multiplayer or computer-opponent play. Its Western and pirate themes give the traditional strategy game a playful adventure framing.

Mindscape is linked to the development and publication of the earlier Lego Island, but it did not develop Lego Chess. Intelligent Games developed Lego Loco, the railway-focused town simulator, while Superscape developed Lego Creator. Those connections make the alternatives plausible distractors, but the developer credit for Lego Chess is specifically Krisalis Software.
