I liked this game and I like the fact that regardless of the opening I chose I could win or lose, and nomatter what a big long scrolling message came up! The 1 dimension idea seems fun I wonder what would happen if the game board was 12 tall and each person had 2 pawns in front a knight then a king, and cuz chess rules the front most pawn moves 1 and 2nd moves 1 or 2 and attack directly in front, and the knight can jump 2 or 3 spaces forward or backward thus allowing to jump over the 2 pawns on 1st move like normal chess! I liked it the way it is I'm just thinking of ideas that could make this bigger thanks this totally gave me ideas but your the original so I rather give and support you some ideas! Cuz I like chess I gonna straight up give you a [3.5/5.0] it's simple and fun cheers! :)
