A simplistic Chess game for S&Box

Sandicate updated 4mo ago 15 MB engine 25
S&Chess
Chess in S&Box
Currently only supports standard chess but if people are genuinely interested we will add more game-modes like chess vs checkers, 4 way chess, leaderboard(s?), achievements, a clock, spectating, notifying a checkmate winner/when a draw happened, 3 fold repetition draw, 50-move rule, and advanced pawn promotions (currently only queen promotion due to the lack of polished ui panel)

A bot has recently been added that you can play with when queuing for a game!

If this bot gets boring we can add more bots with different personalities for playstyle to shake things up (likely will come after the discord is made so we can know what people actually care about with the game)

We want to add chess piece cosmetics (and board cosmetics for the host) for now here's our take
Right now they aren't added since we don't have an items server made yet, we want to add those things after we make an items server so that anything you earn now doesn't need to be wiped after item server is made to ensure unlockables are a expression of personality and in some places gameplay dedication/prestige until an item server is made we might add a temp ELO system based off stats and free-to-use cosmetics until an item server is made

Suggestions are encouraged through forms!
So please tell us what you think! More updates and hot-fixes coming in the future alongside a discord for better feature suggestions!
