I love chess, I love chess games! This was an interesting take on the game.
Gameplay itself was fun to figure out. I like the mechanics, they keep things interesting.
Graphics are good and easily readable.
No soundtrack, minimal fx. Can't give high marks for that, sadly.
Gameboy soul is here, it has the feel of something that might have been on the GBC.
Quirkiness is present, the idea is certainly unique.
Secondary theme interpretation is... uh... well... yeah. No. You already know this, I read the other comments. Sorry, friend.
