Yeah - if you cvan rewatch - then you can devise a better strategy -- or at least list the moves on the side? But still needs the first suggestion: "Thank you for subscribing to CHESS FACTS!" nd it plays a random chess trivia fact with each move - but they are fake: Did you know that the reason the King can only move one space? Because Henry the VIII had gout and couldt walk fast! The queen can move so many spaces be…

wait o.O are these real chess facts or some meme hypotheticals? if the former then that's a huge TIL.

what feels strange is that almost none of chess rules apply...

That's a pretty interesting perspective given that all pieces in EC follow standard chess movements and capturing mechanisms. It's certainly a variant, which makes it more interesting imho. In the puzzle world you could refer to such a game as a chess-like.

Great little game @ramly! Quick question about Zen Mode, are you using something like Wave Function Collapse to create the infinite game?

100% fair. Sorry about that quantxx. The mobile login was only meant to facilitate the login for mobile users through quick Twilio verification. Will move that to username or email instead. Really appreciate the feedback.

What do you need the email for?

reddit has the worst dark pattern in this case... I think most people think they need an email address to signup... yet you can just click next and skip email input... I have about 40 reddit accounts with no emails associated with them... first one was probably created 15 years ago, and last one yesterday
