Very clever prototype, you can really see a full game emerging from the placeholder art.

I didn't like to be taken by surprise by the fact that pawns can now attack orthogonally (as in regular chess it moves orthogonally but attacks diagonally). I was also surprised by how a battle between pawns instead of a "first one in wins" scenario becomes a 3 turn hit/hit/kill . Once you get used to these surprises the game is really fun.
