I love the chessboard design on the table top. I will love to do in schmess chessboards.

Correction - plays in the app (no signup)

Can play it on browser now - https://schmess.com/demo

Agreed-adding a wind-up delay would make gameplay significantly more strategic.

From an engine and state-space perspective, a "Dark Souls mode" creates a massive challenge.

Explosive Search Tree: Because moves overlap in time, evaluating positions via traditional brute-force depth/breadth search becomes nearly impossible. The state space expands exponentially (or infinitely, without cooldowns).

Strategy over Calculation: Because an AI or player can't brute-force every micro-timeline, win conditions rely far more on high-level positional control and timing anticipation rather than raw calculation.

Endgame Dynamics: Cooldown management would dominate the endgame. It could either make drawing much easier or completely alter fundamental checkmate patterns (like King + Rook vs. King).

Great concept to think through!

Fuel can also be delivered at ones home or people can install their own fuel tanks that can last a few refills. Just a thought.

Thanks. I did not know about this one. Looks interesting and I will explore the website for details.

I developed this over a weekend

rewq.app (after opening it once, you could swipe the name on the keyboard. The TAB key next to `q` triggers the auto-complete and completes rewq.app)

I use it making shortcuts to links or lists. Like, music -> ...music..link.. , so on.

When I swipe, rewq<TAB> ? music

The url opens. :-p

FYI ... Also comes with a chrome extension.

That's not true for everyone. I don't have an all happy or all sorrowful life. Same as I don't always make profits or always losses in market transactions.

Thanks for sharing this one.

Thanks for all the amazing responses. I will slowly go over them, use the suggestions and pick a book to read. TY~

I would appreciate your feedback on halfchess.com (though it has ads starting at later stages). You can find my email in about us section in the app or tweet to me @navalsaini .
