The computer might be some time before I add it, because I think a few other big updates like highlighting squares, drawing arrows, ranked play, colored themes should come first, but we'll see!

the only squares that need to be highlighted are the legal moves, and that's already done

I mean the ability to manually highlight squares, and draw arrows, with your right mouse button. That is a common feature among chess sites.

No point to play this game really

wdym I know its dead but no point? no just wait till you play its fun

the problem is that nobody plays it so you can't even play a game unless it's a local match

I usually only have to wait 5-10 minutes to get a game! I leave it open a lot. Several dozen games are played each day!

oh okay, but the highlighting squares should be easy enough if highlighting the legal moves has already been done

There are strong players like Susan Polgar playing Gothic. Also this is chess author Rick Knowlton doing the video. Don't really see this for other variants. There's a reason for that. Grandmasters love Gothic.

I went 3e+28 spaces away from the center in 15 minutes, and oh boy were there a lot of glitches along the way

Also i think you should try and make an app for Windows if possible, it would be easy making custom pieces

Arrows-Inf movement that way clicking-just being able to move there
