Im still relatively new to this and finding my bearings, so please cut me some slack for a bit.

This community was made for AnarchyChess developers, others are welcome though, especially if we make releases and get bugs etc.

The first order of business is What will the first AnarchyChess release look like ?

I propose have the functionality of a desktop game where two people sitting at the one computer shall be able to play a game against each other using a Knook (Knight and Rook combination piece).

For this i propose to create a fork of DreamChess which has 2D and 3D renderings and is available on macOS, Windows and Linux.

If we expand to use mobile devices, GCompris is an open source project that has a chess implementation.

I am open to suggestions though if there are platforms people are familiar with etc.

To do this, we might be working with a code base that has some rules hard baked in an have to break things. A long time ago i cracked open the code to dreamchess to make Kxe2 a legal first move and there was a bit of hotwiring.

Please ask any questions below.
