This is freakin awesome but do the creators even play chess? Playing chess from that viewing angle is unpleasant as hell.
Imagine putting all your work into creating an amazing demo and then drowning it with one design decision.
Edit: Ok I see that you can change the view in settings. They should make that option more visible.
- zatkin 2y agoI wish I had read this comment before I closed the game I had spent 15 minutes on...
- tooltower 2y agoI still don't see the settings. Can anyone help?
- jonwachob91 2y agogear icon next to the clock in bottom left -> board view -> switch to "flat"
- dheera 2y agoI'm not good at chess, I only played as far as I needed to to verify that it supported en passant. It does.
- elif 2y agoI was not able to trigger a draw by repetition and I also doubt the 50 move rule is implemented
- medhir 2y agoso when I first tried the demo I wondered, “are these pieces generated meshes?” thinking about the ability to zoom / pan the board in 3D. The high fidelity of the pieces would seemingly be more in the domain of 2D image generation given current gen AI standards, which would be my educated guess as to why there’s only a handful of views.
- CSMastermind 2y agohttps://imgur.com/a/ROBPwM1 https://imgur.com/a/ROBPwM1 I'm pretty sure they're doing 2D image generation. Just look at the way it outlines some of the pieces.
- lelandfe 2y agoNo, it's 3D. It's some kind of automatic background removal. You can see this falling apart in my comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42252127 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42252127 That "outline" is just an artifact of less-than-perfect removal.

- CSMastermind 2y ago3D in what sense? You think they're doing actual mesh generation?
- lelandfe 2y agoMisunderstood your comment. It is 2D as you've said, my above being evidence of that.
- remus 2y agoThere's plenty of places to play chess already so presumably the main idea is to show off the AI generated pieces and default to the 3D view because it looks cooler.
- elif 2y agoThe AI gave me normal looking pieces and the opponent wild fruit baskets and stuff. I was basically playing blindfolded chess
