Why yellow 771 yellow could be 1

There is no way to win. If blue mates green yellow just moves back and forth

That is the point. Yellow is the fulcrum of the clock, so it's N-check doesn't matter. 771+ is probably because his name is @VishTheFish771.

Since Yellow is a bot, you do not need to checkmate Yellow to win.

I didn’t know that you don’t have to mate bots

Trust me this is actually good. See my archive

This seems ok-ish. Make the n-check less for the players, while making the n-check for the red-bot more (around 30-35). Make the koth squares less accessible, while making it easy to defend koth.

The KOTH squares are already very hard to access in the opening, and I changed the promotion rank to 5th and changed the promotion to mustang, archbishop and alibaba

we hate PIECES FACE CENTER!!(joke)
good idea but green and blue have 2 bishops, and it's much better than 1 rook. 
and you should test before you post it here.

pieces facing the center is a nice tool for orienting yourself if you are confused about pawn mouvement but is visually disorienting otherwise. the 2 bishops instead of a rook is an interesting idea. theoretically they should be significantly stronger, is 10th rank promotion the final rank? if so consider making it much easier to accomplish. ie the center of the board. A bit of chaos makes for fun games!

promotion is just in front of the opposite players pawns
