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.

I wish I had read this comment before I closed the game I had spent 15 minutes on...

There'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.

so 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.

I'm not good at chess, I only played as far as I needed to to verify that it supported en passant. It does.

Chrome on Android doesn't have this setting.

Responsive design fail?

Firefox on MacOS also doesn't seem to have it.

I can't find it on Chrome on MacOS, either..

EDIT: it shows up for me, once you actually start playing.
