Rohit Chess

@krishnanrohit tweeted this tonight:

7yo created a new game
- The front lines move like King in chess
- Large circles in the back like bishop, diagonally
- The spiral round thing is the King to get checkmated, though it moves like Queen in chess

I described the game to o1-pro and had it spit out this webgame. Really fun that this is possible now.

The game is pretty draw-ish since all the pieces are powerful, it's easy to trade off a bunch and then get into a position where checkmate isn't possible. But it's pretty easy to make a mistake against a high-depth AI if you aren't paying attention.
