Great concept. Pretty enjoyable and with a server to store the high scores. I could easily see this becoming a cult classic in a community.

Really enjoyed the game! I loved the idea of just killing everything with my rook. Trying to be faster than the computer was also super fun. Really good job!

Crazy CabsHuh, seems like an ordinary game of chess, I just... wait, why isn't the opponent mo-DID HE JUST MOVE TWICE??? OFUKOFUKOFUKOFUKOFUKOFUKOFUKOFUKOFUKOFUKOFUK
That pretty much summarizes the first few moments I had with this game. Absolutely brilliant.

Ballue's Gravity GrindFinally a chess game that I can actually win. Cool twist on well-known mechanics. Real-time thing allows for some exploits but I think this could be made into a really good game if the dev(s) take care of it. Well done!

Lost SignalThis is heaps cool. I've never seen a real-time chess game before. Knowing chess makes you feel quite powerful because you can make lots of moves in very quick succession. It's almost like an RTS . But surely enough, I also lost my queen so quickly.
To take the game further, since you are bending the rules of traditional chess, you can't stop with only 'real-time'.
- You could add obstacles
- Randomly 'blocked' pieces that you either can't move or can't capture.
- The ability to place captured pieces back to the board after a certain time.
- Multiplayer.

Shooty BallzWhat a fun take on the topic, it is really hard to keep track of everything going on, especially if you loose a figure you were currently focused on. Really well done!

Shop'n'DemicI knew someone had to do it! And it's as frenetic as I expected it to be, great execution on the idea.

No killing while I'm away, pleaseCool experiment on turning chess into a mix of a strategy and fast-paced game, I think it will be even more fun to play against a friend!

Drone SpawnToday I learned that turns are not necessary for chess. That worked way better than I expected. I do wonder though if it would be better to still win from a normal checkmate condition instead of being able to just sending a pawn to run to the other side of the board, turn into a queen, and take the king out really quick. Like disable attacking the king directly. I don't know if it would actually be better; just an idea.

Recurse Robotics, Inc.Very original idea! This seems like it could be a very good game to play with some friends.
I like how (obviously) speed is a key factor in beating your opponent especially when you need to plan ahead quickly, but that normal chess strategy still applies for blocking and creating plays.
Some issues may arise for balancing, like the queen being able to move around very quickly and possibly making the game just who can move faster, but maybe with some modified rules you could prevent this.
Overall a unique idea that has really good 1v1 and party potential!
Hectic chess was fun. Kept the URL and might play some more later LOL.
I would appreciate it if you'll have time to check out my game.
