Finally a variant with a real engine behind it. The AI actually punishes my mistakes instead of just shuffling pieces around.

Played three games on my phone during a train ride and didn’t touch standard chess for a week after.

The 10×8 board sounds gimmicky until you try it. The extra files open up ideas that simply don’t exist on 8×8.

Clean interface, instant moves, no account required to start. This is how chess variants should be presented.

I run a small chess club and we made Consul our “weird game of the month.” Three months later it’s still on the board.
