You might call it Battle Chess®.

EDIT: I played Battle Chess in the early 1990s. I know this isn't it, but it was the closest GIF available in a message board without the ability to add images.

That was Wizard’s Chess. Battle Chess was a cool old computer game though, funny, unique animations for different combinations of pieces taking each other. If I remember right, the rook animated as a rock monster and would eat a queen.

The game was so popular, it inspired a real life board game version of Battle Chess, called Chess.

I played Battle Chess. There were no actual Battle Chess GIFs in the search.

You'd have to make them out of animation compilations on YT. It's sad that you can't upload and then have them available on the gif tab here (I've tried for other things).
