 Main Features

 Place chess anywhere on the map

Drop chess spots at saloons, camps, hideouts – wherever you want – via config.
Each spot has its own fully synced board shared by everyone nearby.

 Two game modes for every outlaw and lawman

• vs AI – face off against a built-in chess AI
• 1v1 duels – challenge another player at the same table

 Real-time sync (world + UI)

Every move is shown both on the physical board in the world and inside the chess UI at the same time.
No desync, no magic moves – what you see on the table is what you see in the UI.

 Spectator support (AI & 1v1)

Ride up to a table where someone’s playing (AI or 1v1) and you’ll see an idle chess set in the world,
but a live chess UI opens on the right side of your screen – fully synchronized with the ongoing match.
Perfect for watching those high-stakes brain duels at the saloon.

 Clean prompt flow & post-game options

• Single “Play Chess” prompt to sit down
• Choose AI or 1v1 (wait for player)
• After the match: Play Again or Leave Table
• Handles disconnects and session cleanup gracefully, so tables don’t get stuck or bugged

Configurable controls

All keybinds are editable from Config (join, AI, 1v1 wait/join, rematch, leave, etc.).

Default help texts (also configurable):

Arrow keys: select square | G: select / move
LALT: Play again | BACKSPACE: Leave table

Full localization support

All prompt texts, help lines and UI strings are read from a locale table via T(...).
You can translate everything and switch language from the config without touching the core code.

“Bring high-noon duels from the street to the chessboard.”
