How it feels
A clever, open-ended sandbox where you tinker with chess rules and pieces, then test them against an AI or friends at a measured pace.

What players say
Players love crafting their own chess variants with custom pieces and boards, and the adjustable AI makes it fun for all skill levels. A crash loop bug tied to AI vs AI play is reported, and several players note the lack of fullscreen in vanilla, while online mode is described as broken.
