-Changed the lighting on the title (I still don't know how the hell he noticed that)
-Made a small version
Any other changes?

Because the pieces themselves can't move. I agree, though, that that portion of the legend is a bit hard to understand...One possible rewording:MrBenn wrote:WidowMakers wrote:2) The legend is sort of hard to understand.

Why not reword it to something like "Pawns can advance 1 or 2 spaces unless blocked ( by another piece )"

Pawns can attack the 2 spaces ahead of them, unless blocked (by another piece)
In my understanding, the pawns can always attack the space immediately in front of them, and then one-way attack the space two ahead of them, but only if there is no piece there.
One final thing: are pieces restricted to *only* attacking in the patterns of chess? Or can a pawn, for example, also attack the spaces to either side?
I would agree with you and sully on this, but none of the pawns have opposing pieces in those squares. So, in a real chess game, they wouldn't be able to attack there anyways.sinctheassasin wrote:Should have said this earlier, but wouldet it make mire sense for pawns attacking one space diagonally forward? That's how it is in chess. I guess it would be reasonable fir pawns to bombard forward 1 or 2, since it is how
pawns move. Sorry if it's too late to change this now

i dont know, just my two cents

I don't think there is any reason to bring bombard into the map. It really doesn't apply to chess at all, because you can't attack something in chess without advancing to the spot. It would add some confusing elements with no real purpose.
I think it's fine that the pawns can only attack forward, especially because it makes things less confusing for non chess players. The gameplay all seems to work well right now, and translates fairly well to a real game of chess. And it's not too confusing!
