Is there anything you want to say about your game?
I have been poking away at Cozy Chess for three months. Within the first week it basically worked and I loved the feel of it but ever since then I have been agonizing over the AI, hair-pullingly frustrated by bugs, and very reluctant to share it with the world because of its imperfections. Thank you for the jam for encouraging me ship it.

Congrats on finishing! The game looks amazing and I really like the options in it too.

Being able to toggle the bots and read through the logbook are really cool features.  I also like the strategist mode.  I've been trying to relearn chess and it was really helpful seeing all of this.   It's super cool.   I love it!

Thanks again for hosting the jam. You may enjoy the video I just posted to Cozy Chess game page with explains how I programmed it.

Hey, Kendra. Congratulations on completing your game :) It really turned out great! The AI works perfectly and I love all the different modes, especially the heat maps in the strategist mode. The log of moves on the notepad is a really nice touch too! Overall it's a really great implementation of a chess AI. You should be really proud of yourself! Keep it up.

P.S. You don't need to worry about having shared this with the world. You managed to ship a very polished game :) In fact, I was only able to find one minor issue: If you start playing a new game and only play single bot moves the credits on the notepad are not removed when displaying the moves.

Thanks so much for trying it, being so kind, and finding an easy bug to fix! I'm struggling to squash a tricker one at present. Pawn promotion can sometimes mess up the bot.
