Vanguard Chess

How to Play

Standard: Solid wall of Checkers on Row 3, Pawns on Row 2, Chess on Row 1.
True Spacing: Solves gridlock by placing Checkers only on alternating squares (dark or light).
Inverted Vanguard: A highly aggressive variant where Checkers hold the back row, the King and Majors are on the 2nd row, and Pawns are on the 3rd row!

Movement: Checkers (⬤) move 1 square diagonally forward into an empty space.
Jumping (Capturing): Checkers capture by jumping over an adjacent enemy piece into an empty square diagonally behind it.
Multi-Jumps: You can chain multiple jumps in a single turn! Click the next jump target, or click "End Jump" to stop early. Jumping is optional.
Checker Kings: Reaching the furthest rank promotes a Checker to a Checker King (❂), which can move and jump diagonally backward as well.

Chess pieces move and capture completely normally via displacement.
Pawns can double-move on their first turn, and En Passant is fully active.
Castling (Kingside and Queenside) is fully active across all board sizes!
Manual Promotion: Reaching the final rank with a Pawn will pop up a menu allowing you to under-promote to any major piece.
Victory: Capture the enemy Chess King to win!
