    New chess mode unlocked - on turn 15 the board is flipped. You can win by checkmate before turn 15, but after that you have to switch sides. That would put some real strategy into the game.

    Anyone know a way to make this happen?

      Every 15 turns the board is flipped probably works better because 15 moves is just enough turns to complete an opening. Should playtest both options whoever tries to make this.

      Because we all know that strategy is the thing chess needs more of to finally succeed as a game.

        Well at the higher competitive levels people just route memorize shit. By multiplying the number of play styles, but keeping the base rules it could reduce the amount of memorization and make the game more reliant on creative intuition
