Chess O'Clock

The best move ...

And he sacrifices... THE ROOK!

... is not to think ...

Have you ever tried chess with a really low time limit? Or maybe tried out some variants? Well this is both at the same time! Double the fun (and stress)! By the way you can also move into check because who needs safeguards anyways.

... but to play.

To move the pieces, click them and then where you want them to go.
To pause the game, use middle mouse, control, escape, or click the clock.
And that's all!

Great idea, and amazing execution! Everything plays so good! I could play this for days.

Thank you!

The mix of familiar and new variants coupled with having 0 time to think is addicting to say the least. Did you make a whole custom chess bot for this?

3 bots! They really aren't that good and only look 1 turn into the future, but the time limit makes that matter a lot less!
