This is a really good concept. To turn a simple game on to its sides... Can't believe you really coded an entire chess engine in like 5 hours of coding. It is really impressive that you did this in such a short amount of time. It is a bit hard to play on a laptop due to the vertical nature of the game but apart from that, its really fun to play.

Surprisingly I had the entire chess engine with the AI ready in around 2.5 hours of coding itself - I felt like having everything planned out prior to coding helped a lot here. I did struggle quite a bit with the UX of the game, in hindsight going for a landscape orientation for the game would have been better. I'm glad that you enjoyed playing it, and thanks for the kind words!
