Interesting fuzzy graphic style. As Wevel pointed out, turn order does not seem to be enforced, and you can capture the king if you want.
Well It's chess and it works, Chess is fun but it doesn't have anything to do with the theme.
It's chess, but it doesn't check for win conditions or turns. Funky visual style.
Really just chess without any structure, I did win but I also lost. Nice artstyle.
So yes, it's chess with a limited feature set (no turn order, no win condition). The graphics style is interesting though. The square selection seems to go off kilter when moving towards the top of the board.
Nice art style indeed, but you missed the theme completely.
Unless you are subliminally telling us that we, like everyone else, are only pawns to one another, willed and captured by each other's whims and fancies until there is nothing left...
Well, it's chess and it's not even working correctly (there is something weird going on with the turn order). I'm a monster, I'm playing chess! But I liked the graphics, though.
Didn't have much to do with the theme and there wasn't much of a 'game' since the enemy didn't move. It was functional chess though so I'll give you that.
Cool start for a chessboard...
But i feel alone playing with myself with no win condition :( King's moves are not locked when he's in check.
Also it could have been somehow better to fit the theme...
Interesting start for a project, but right now it doesn't really do all that much I'm afraid. It doesn't seem to implement all of chess's rules or even enforce many of the game mechanics.

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Well its chess, although alternating turns isn't enforced
