I like the concept- my only real beef so far is where you vary from the rules. Most especially (and on the free level so far, it’s not quite a deal breaker) is the fact that a King can place himself in check. Most other variations I get, but the King/Check thing is so central to the heart of chess. I’d pay for the option to play your cool game by straight rules- just having the small board sort of endgame challenges.
