There was something called Kung Fu Chess a while back that was this exact same concept. It was really fun, but I think it shut down in 09. Best of luck with this one.
I see only a latency graph but the board is "broken" and when I log in there is not checkerboard just a gray frame. That's on safari
This is awesome. The chess pieces can be moved at any time, but each piece has its own cooldown before it can be moved again. At first, I was confused by the fact that you are allowed to move the king into check, but after a couple games I realized that it makes perfect sense for a real-time game.
This reminds me of kunfuchess, which has the same gameplay. I'm not sure if that's still around.
I'm very confused by this, it seems you can win by 'taking' the king.
USCF blitz chess is played this way. "Real time" chess seems more similar to blitz then standard chess to me, so I think this makes sense.
Yes, some explanation of the rules seem to be in order. How is en passant implemented for example?
Seems to work alright, but with a chat it would be more fun.
I cant even make the moves
the demo website seems to be down at my end ..
