Can we have a season pass? This could work like when you buy it you get 50% more rating for a win and lose 30% less if you lose. Also you can add skins and the ability to buy pieces during the game

[@HelloIAmAnExist]

After seeing how you select a piece I expected the selection of the target square to be moving up/down/left/right, but the way presented is more impractical than anything I could've imagined

[@basilenordmann7356]

I am surprised by how thoughtful this modern world critic is, considering it comes from a company. It's not only the fake engagement stuff that most companies adopt to fool the dumbest of activists that need everybody to be at their liking, it's a real mockery of the world, including their audience... Hats off!

We all know a modern version of chess would allow kings to identify as queens...potentially making the game quite volatile and pretty confusing when you found out you hadnt got checkmate but just sacked your rook. But then again wouldnt modern chess abolish the monarchy?
