any feedback on this?
Whats the incentive to attack in this?
Edit: Check chains also seem like an interesting idea, but nothing really forces players to make progress

1. Why is passing there
2.Why is BPR there
3.The board shape overall does encourage shuffling

Squavement reversion I guess
any feedback?
Here's the problem with squavement's idea as a whole:
Shuffling, and no incentive to attack in the opening, players do not really have an incentive to attack each other until they get stronger weapons, and rather just shuffle and play defensively.
To fix this, you can put the strong pieces on the other player's side, where you can only "unlock" strong pieces once the other's side is free.

Okay 2 problems right off the bat:
1. The bot captures royals unlike Thermopylae. Which bot should I use?
2. I want to make it so if the king is captured you lose. How can this be performed while still using the clock?
Also, if these things can be fixed, is the position fair?

Ok, first of all, remove Blue because being between RY puts them at a disadvantage.
1. This is because Green wants to check, and capturing Blue's royal puts Red in check.
2. Do this: 
(those are berolinas, btw)
(what is Green's purpose on the main board?)

Deniss_11111, first of all, you are incorrect. Secondly, your grammar is bad.

If one player does nothing, the other player can place, capture, and replace the knight, slowly draining the opponent's checks.
Ah alright that's a fair point, but I'd probably maybe say a setup knight in the back and setup complete (which could be interesting I suppose)
