Each player's chess clock counts down only on their turn. Both clocks pause during the fight. The board position, remaining chess time and fighter health carry over between rounds.
Select a chess piece, then select a highlighted destination. White moves first.
How to win
Checkmate or a knockout ends the match. If one player's chess clock runs out, the other player wins.
A draw on the board sends both players into a final fight. If the match reaches the end without a decisive result, the fighter with more health wins. Equal health means a draw.
