Yeah, but when playing (and thinking) about the moves, players don't want to be distracted by some kind of input (for instances like clicking or holding opponents' pieces just to get information) especially at the latter stages when opponent's pieces are literally triple the numbers of the players (and also that annoying bishop).
And one more thing, maybe this is obvious since you have not done the UI on the item, but it really needs some description, just throwing it out there.
anyway, thanks for the game. :)
