pawns promotion seems useless, you will get mated long before you promote a pawn. why 11th?
Teams was re-added! Tell us what you think?!

I think even if pawn promotions were made to be on the 7th rank (shorter than FFA) the mode is a bit too aggressive for it to be a good strategy in the early game. This said I have no problem with it being on the 11th. It is the furthest a pawn can move if it makes a capture towards enemy territory and there is no need for an easy promotion rule to give players an incentive to be active in the game.

Make the chess board coordinates more contrast. Now there are tiny gray letters and digits on gray squares. Black color and bigger letters should be better.
+1 I was thinking the same

this is sooo awesome! love the arrows! the default chat being team instead of 'all' is great too. Fantastic work

One game of teams is enough for me.. Having the arrows thrown all over the board are annoying.
An arrow is a friendly suggestion, not an order from your lieutenant. You still can make your own moves. The TEAMS MODE means there is a TEAMWORK when 2 persons suggest moves one to another and discuss them. If you do not like it, play FFA. But first think: Why does it annoy you? Is it something like "I am not stupid! I will find the best move myself!" or maybe "Who is he/she to give orders?".

nahh... it's more like I enjoy to play the game and it goes way smoother without teaming.
I have no lieutenant, yellow minnion...
The colouring feels non-intuitive, when you have to try and remember who is in who's team. Maybe change colours/shades to make them more intuitive
Suggestions -
Yellow - White vs Blue - Black (Contrast/brightness based teams)
Yellow - Pink vs Blue - Dark Green (Same colours, just more intuitive)
Also I hate the paywall too
