The new artworks are nice,but I have a question:when a 6 piece player vs a 5piece player,does the 5piece have a space on the side?

Cheers and nice question.
I think it will be unlikely for that matchup, because we will most likely make it so that if there's room for an extra piece, your reward will be allocated accordingly so that it's not an upgrade, rather the full extra piece.
PS. some more eyecandy:
Objective
- 8 players join a lobby with a full HP bar.
- There are many rounds in the game, 6 or more. Every round if you lose, you will lose some HP instead of being eliminated.
- You are eliminated if you lose all HP.
- At the end of the rounds the Top 4 players will gain rating, Bottom 4 will lose rating.
Gameplay
1. [1st Placement Phase] Start off at a small 5x5 board, and you get to place your pieces wherever you want (customization).
2. [1st Battle Phase] When done you are matched up against a random player from the lobby, and you play standard chess with a timer.
3. [1st Reward Phase] You get a reward when you win or lose the round. The %chance of getting a better rarity reward increased if you do win the round. Pick from one of 3 cards dealt to you. In this case we picked Ninja.
4. [2nd Placement Phase] You get to place your pieces again after and arrange your starting army however you want. Notice also the board increased in size to 6x6.
5. [2nd Battle Phase] Now you fight your next randomly matched opponent and will get to play with the piece you chose earlier, the Ninja. It is actually a combo piece. So you should draft and pick your cards strategically!
I designed the pieces as an extension of existing chess pieces for the most part. So they will be easy to learn and use. Ninja is a Bishop that lets you move again 1 square after her move. Using her ability will combo with other cards.
6. [2nd Reward Phase] An example of getting better rewards after you win, and later rounds will let you get better rarity much easier. In this case you are getting an Epic or Legendary piece.
... And so on until the lobby has been eliminated and the top player stands alive.
Here are examples of different combo cards in the game to look forward to !
So there you have it, an epic battle-royale format for Chess that progressively gets more and more intense as you upgrade your pieces on a growing board, and fighting for survival to be the #1 top G.
