I really like the concept, but there should be promoting option also, when you get to the edge with a pawn

Nice idea, I'm missing some features from chess.com, however it still must have been challenging to create chess AI. Congrats! ;)

Cool concept! Would have loved the ability to make new funky paths (like that of the knight) for all the pieces.

Nice job! What kind of AI are you using here (or planning to use)?

I really like the concept, but as other people mentioned, the AI seems to get stuck at some times.

Cool idea with a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the AI got stuck in the first couple of moves.

I had a similar idea like this one but i changed my mind later. I think it'd be more challenging if you could change the rules when you get a certain score and it applies to the a.i opponent as well. It's a great job anyway!

From a design perspective, the rule changes should apply to all opponents. But apparently there are some bugs with the AI... Fixing ;>
Thanks for playing!

I am not sure why but the enemy AI gets stuck from time to time.

The concept of enabling/disabling the rules of chess is cool. I can save my piece by just disabling the movement rule of the enemy pieces :)

Would love to see some feedback though, some sound, some animation, something.

Great job nonetheless!

Thanks for playing! And yes the AI is buggy for now, I am trying to fix it and make it smarter.
