♟ Piece Movement
📜 Standard Rules
Standard Chess Overview

Played on an 8×8 board. White moves first. Checkmate the opponent's King to win.

  • Castling — King moves 2 squares toward a Rook; neither has moved, no pieces between, King not in check.
  • En Passant — Pawn that just moved 2 squares can be captured as if it moved 1.
  • Promotion — Pawn reaching the last rank promotes to any piece.
⚡ CHAOS Mode
How CHAOS Works

Every 7 moves, the game freezes. Each player picks 1 of 2 modifier cards. Modifiers are permanent — once a piece type is upgraded, it cannot be upgraded again. Max 5 mods per player.
