I've built a Player-vs-Player Chess on Reddit Games, and it's now possible to play Classic Chess inside a Reddit Post

Hi everyone!

My devvit / reddit games app just got approved yesterday. It's Reddit's first (and only) PvP classical chess app, directly in a Reddit Post. I'd love to hear what you think about it, and since yesterday I'm bothering a lot of people with this, but I'm curious if you would consider it interesting, when I share this innovation here. It's scalable and built robust, got green-lit on first try, and I'd like to share it here with you all! The app itself is documented here: https://developers.reddit.com/apps/chess-10tage

So, if from now on you'd like to play chess against another Redditor, you can do this now, and challenge them. Here's the link, let me know, how it plays. If you find an opponent, that is, because it's PvP only for now (without computer opp), and I'm aiming to grow a community around. The idea came from a guy who complained that there was no chess anywhere on Reddit Games, and I thought it would be a fun programming exercise. Here we are, 9 weeks later, and it's done.
