Thanks! Yes, the AI is the weakest part of the project (I'll have to improve it hahaha)

Thanks! If you are an experienced chess player you'll be able to beat the game easily. I had some troubles implementing a good AI in time. I'll try to update the game, taking into consideration how these chess variations you mentioned work. 

Another idea I had was that maybe if you make a pawn reach the other side of the board you win, that way each player needs to keep an eye on any rogue pawns trying to make a run for it. The queen is a real problem though hahahaha. I'll see what I can do with her.

Hahaha I know, but as soon as I flipped the pawns with the other pieces I realized it was to easy to trade each piece with it's adversary. I'll have to think of a better idea for the starting positions.

Most of the quirks were removed because of time (except castling which does not make much sense as you say). Double Step could be added. 

Thanks for playing!!

I can totally see that! I'll have to check the balance in a mode like this, I'm not very convinced by the outcome from the jam on that regard either. Thanks for checking out the game!

Thank you so much!!

It's so motivating to hear that! Glad you enjoyed it. I'll try to polish this game so stay tuned!

Thanks! I lost to the computer while trying to test the win conditions more times that I'd like to admit too!

Thanks!! I'll try to update it so stay tuned 😎

Thanks! The algorithm is a brute force check of the best movements but even though it was working (giving me the movement with a 2-move in advance consideration) I could not translate it to the game in time hahaha. The engine basically tries to capture the piece with the most material it can, looking only 1 move forward.

Hopefully I'll polish it to make it a little bit more interesting hahaha

Thank you so much!

Thanks! Hopefully I'll get to it, adding some features to make it a full game :)

Thanks! I also realized that it is kind of faster than the usual chess game. Don't know why exactly though hahahaha

Yes! I had some trouble trying to make a 2 player chess tutorial into a player vs computer game hahahaha but some quality of life changes could be made to the game for sure!

Loved the idea for the theme!

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Thanks! 

Thanks! I like chess but I'm also super bad at it. This one was funnier because it was more aggresive having 8 pieces to capture to win.

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Indeed 😎♟️

Thanks!

I'm so glad to hear that! I would have liked to have the time to create a better AI, difficulties and 2 players. Thanks for playing!

Thanks! For the AI I used this tutorial:

However, I was able to implement a one-move ahead algorithm only because of time.
Basically it tries to capture the piece with most material value it can, if not it moves one random piece. A two-move ahead algorithm makes surprisingly good movements already.
