## Description

Chess 2

Classical chess, reskinned in a lava-cracked arena where goblin armies trade blows instead of pieces sliding quietly across a polished board. Every capture plays out: the attacker runs in, swings, the defender dies. Queens fire rockets. The king sits on a throne. Your opponent is still calculating mate in three — it just looks like a battle.

Features
- Ranked 1v1. Full Elo-based ladder spanning 15 tiers — Iron III through Diamond I. Win, lose, or draw your way up.
- Practice vs AI. Easy, Normal, and Hard bots keep you sharp without touching your ranked LP. Blunders here are free.
- Up to 8 in a lobby. Two seats at the board, six free-fly spectators who can walk the map, chat with everyone, and press E to claim an empty seat when the host opens the table.
- Ranked that rewards showing up. Early-game surrenders and disconnects don't hand your opponent a free win — the first 15 seconds are a grace window that cancels the match instead. Anti rage-quit by design.
- Anti-sabotage. Disconnect mid-match and your opponent gets their LP credit. Nobody escapes a loss by pulling the ethernet cable.
- Cinematic board. Hold right-click for a top-down tactical view. Letterbox bars for framing, chess clocks that break into tenths-of-a-second under ten, and a first-move AFK guard so nobody gets to eat your clock by walking away.
- Career tracking. Per-player stats split ranked from practice (your VS-Bots grinding doesn't dilute your win rate), 8 unlockable achievements tracking milestones from First Victory to Veteran, and a global LP leaderboard with your own position always pinned regardless of rank.
- Built-in chat. Slash commands (/help, /filter on|off, /hide, /show, /clear), profanity filter, URL sanitisation, per-player server-side spam limits.

Controls
- Left-click — select / move a piece.
- Right-click — hold for top-down view; release to return.
- Mouse — look around in first-person, cursor in top-down.
- Tab — swap colours before the match starts.
- R — give up (opens a confirmation). Hosts can also use R to return to the main menu between matches.
- E — "Interact" — summon a challenger, start the challenge, or take an open seat as a spectator.
- Enter — chat.
