How to try:

Binary

• Download the zipped game from the releases tab and have fun (win64bit only, stockfish executable included)

  With editor

• 4.27 branch requires that version, main requires UE 5.4+
• Download the repository and open the project file
• Start with standalone net mode to start in the main menu
• Start with listen server net mode (don't forget to set the number of players to 2) to start the match right away
• If you want to play against AI, you need to download a UCI compatible chess engine and point the "Executable path" to its .exe

Todo:

• Why is the skybox broken in 5.4 Packaged?
• Chess clock?
• Steam integration?
