We both got the coolest idea! Great job!

This is an interesting interpretation of chess and quite intuitive (the figures behave as you would expect.. strangely :D). And it works surprisingly well.
Well done!

One Action HeroesPretty minimal in presentation; no frills for sure, but still a fairly well-considered translation of chess into 1 dimension. Could have stood to have a state recognizing win conditions, rather than just continuing "play."
Despite my misgivings, there's a strong theoretical foundation here and I've got a good bit of respect for what it manages to do on a design level. A little more polish and user friendliness and this could be an excellent game to play with my friends over lunch. Heck, give this a UI and make it for mobile and you could easily sell this almost otherwise unmodified.
EDIT: a itch bug made me post this comment three times. Sorry! Cleaned it up.

My Big ShotI'd really like to play this one, it looks interesting. But I downloaded the .zip, unzipped it and when I try to run the EXE nothing happens. :(

Single Step ExecutionI'm sorry to hear that. Can you tell me what platform you're on? The exe is for Windows 64-bit so unfortunately it won't work on a 32-bit OS. For now you can go to http://love2d.org/ and download LÖVE and use that to run the ".love" file for this game (also available on the download page).
Very neat idea. I can see myself developing strategies on the optimal first moves and strategies if I played the game 5 times against someone. Good Work!
(On a sidenote; this kinda reminds me of "The Royal Game of Ur")

One turn TakoyakiThat's a very interesting idea, I like it a lot! Some UI telegraphing would come in handy (like when you choose a pawn, showing where it can walk before you walk) to plan ahead better. Other than that, it has a very cool nostalgic look that creates an interesting mood to the game. Good job!

Meow BrawlAt first I thought it was completely hopeless to win the game, but if you do not move pawns to the middle, it is possible to take over all of the opponent's pieces with a knight, so in the end only two knights are left. If added a winning screen when the king is threatened, and a draw when the two pawns are right next to each other, the game could be replayable many times!
