This is freakin awesome but do the creators even play chess? Playing chess from that viewing angle is unpleasant as hell. Imagine putting all your work into creating an amazing demo and then drowning it with one design decision. Edit: Ok I see that you can change the view in settings. They should make that option more visible.

I still don't see the settings. Can anyone help?

gear icon next to the clock in bottom left -> board view -> switch to "flat"

It's not available in my country (nor for certain ages it says), what are we looking at?

Edit: See ZiiS comment... Looks like an awkward angle for playing indeed :p

Wait is this just an image generator? Am I missing something really cool here?

Look how easily they just fabricated 100% of a game's assets, with a consistent, high quality style, and then put them right into the game environment. That's the takeaway IMO. Very tight GenAI loop.

It is a game with 12 static assets.

you forgot to mention: "where you pick the style of the assets"

Oh yeah that's indeed too dangerous for my country, thanks Google!

Maybe "Thanks, your country"?

No, AI chess is not banned here, but I suppose they - even in this app - collect every data possible and use it against the user - then yes, that is banned and this is not a fault of my country.

I'm fascinated by what prompts lead to 'Please try a different prompt.' New Zealand or Australia lead to the aforementioned error, but The Antipodes generates a set. I thought individual countries had been banned for possibly generating offensive content but it works for Great Britain.

Metallica works, Slipknot doesn't, Iron Maiden does, Nirvana doesn't.

Aperture Science works, so does Black Mesa (the proposed opponent, hehe), Cyberdyne Systems doesn't, Vault-Tec does, Weyland-Yutani also works.

Studio Ghibli doesn't work, Toei Animation does, so does Production I.G. and KyoAni.

Akagi works, JoJo doesn't but JoJo Bizarre Adventure does (so does Joseph Joestar, and it knows Dio Brando is the opponent), Uzumaki does not, BLAME! is accepted but not recognized (a shame), 20th Century Boys is not accepted.

Soviet Union works, Russia does not, neither do most countries. US States are accepted (California's opponent is Florida), so do many cities, with exceptions of Mexico City/Ciudad de Mexico, Pyongyang and Tehran.

Voyager-1 works, Apollo 13 doesn't (for any mission numbers), plain Apollo does (but it's not the space mission), Soyuz does, SpaceX Starship does not.

Vim works, so does Emacs, so does Visual Studio. (I've tried that just to see the proposed opponents)

Dota 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Mass Effect, Half-Life, Deus Ex, Arma 3, BioShock, Elden Ring all work, even Wolfenstein does. Disco Elysium is accepted but produce something unrelated (a shame, again). Can't find a video game that won't be accepted.

Funnily, US Government worked partially for me, failing to produce a single piece.

It suggested "France" was "Britain"'s natural opponent but refused to generate France.

Phish vs Grateful Dead didn’t work. But Dildos vs. Vibrators was fine. The colors are off though. Not really impressed.

Yeah, it's not too hard to trick it into generating some NSFW content ("mammary glands" for instance).
