This looks amazing! Although I wouldn't be surprised if this was a forced first-player win.

Perhaps at an expert level, but given theory debt of even normal chess I hardly see how this could be an issue at very expert level but that's not for some years (assuming it gets a community but it clearly has a good start). It actually looks really fun, hopefully there isn't a way to cheese-win as white, but barring that it looks really fun and creative.

3d chess is another popular variant: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-dimensional_chess

Lot of games you could spin up in this manner. I wonder if we are going to do that for all the board games with tried and old strategies. HN has any suggestions on what those board games should be?

There is a discord linked in the game help menu where people are discussing lot of things including how to create a bot.
