- For
- Chess and arcade-game players who enjoy odd rule twists
- Worth noticing
- Each fighter is described as having an ability, finisher, three costumes, a rival, and a live-action ending.
Field notes
The described match begins with a six-fighter draft assigned to king, queen, rook, bishop, knight, and pawn roles; players can also bury a hidden trap before play. The site says arcade clears unlock costumes, while its online format seats two active players and lets others watch before the winner stays on. These are presented as features of a game marked “Coming soon,” not as verified live functionality.
