The first play I was not careful and stabbed my way into slaughter by black bishop, but on second try I managed to beat the game. It was fun trying to find ways to eliminate both white and black pieces while completely avoiding opponent's queen. The AI had in my opinion a perfect difficulty such that it was not purely random but did not pose an impossible challenge for someone only vaguely familiar with chess. I think this is where the game could be improved furthermore. Having more "difficulties" could be interesting. The game felt nice, clean and polished and I did not encounter any bugs or issues. I also really liked the intro scene which explained the story behind the game. Overall, good job!
