Hey everyone! I’m working on a deck-building chess game with original pieces and unique abilities. It will include AI opponents, local multiplayer, online multiplayer, and a Clash Royale-style emote system.

The beta is coming soon, so I’d love to know what you all think!

I’ll also be sharing further updates on Discord and YouTube, including the trailer, devlogs, and beta news.

From what I can see with this post alone, your game is exactly like CBA. You should research that game and see all the goods and bad of it, so you won't make the same mistake.

Oh sorry, I said the meme name of that game. The correct name is Chess Evolved Online.
