About this game

Piece abilities: Rook — slides and pushes your own pieces along the line Pawn — swaps with a friendly piece and jumps 2 squares forward, destroying the target Queen — sacrifices herself to destroy any enemy piece (except the queen and king) King — can teleport onto a square occupied by a friendly piece Knight — gets an extra move after a capture Bishop — becomes invulnerable to capture for one move after moving This is not a simplification — it's an expansion. Familiar openings break down, new forks and zugzwang positions emerge, games become denser. Experienced players will have to recalculate their usual lines. Play against the bot at three difficulty levels. Compete on the leaderboards: fastest win, fewest moves, longest streak. The goal is classic — strike down the king. Only the method changes.
