This deserves a thumbs up just for the chess implementation itsself which I think would be nice as a standalone mod as well (particularly the multi player variant could be nice for servers). The bot is extremely weak but that is to be expected. And the unexpected events actually kind of make up for it because no matter how good you are at regular chess calculating doesn't really help a lot usually bc eventually something like "remove all pawns" happens and everything is different anyways.
Since we wanted the game to be playable on lower end PCs we had to find a good ratio between acceptable moves and speed. You can configure the bot strength yourself though. Therefore you can find detailed instructions in the README. At date you have to configure the bot in the source code but we are looking forward to add a seperate setting for that.
There is also a way to play normal chess. Just try /start_normal ;)

Thank you very much! Nice to hear you enjoyed it.
