Game modes
The game has five game modes which are listed below, they vary in terms of rules and mechanics. For example, Ranked has a time limit for each player, with the exhaustion of the timer being an additional losing term.


 * The normal version is a direct representation of chess, with almost no added or removed game rules or mechanics.
 * The random version is a version of chess with randomized pieces, with the pawns intact with no interference. The positions of the randomized pieces stay on each side of the board. The pieces' arrangement and type are identical on each color. This is almost similar to Chess960 aka Fischer Random Chess.
 * The pawn battle is a version of chess on which every piece is removed in the back rank, with the exception of the king and the pawns. The objective is to promote a pawn by moving it to the side of the board.
 * Ranked (aka Rapid) is a timed version of chess, each player has 10 minutes to play their moves, and the timer carries on each turn. The timer system adds a new losing condition in the game.
 * Lightning (aka Bullet or Blitz) is similar to Ranked but the time for each player is set to 1 1/2 minutes.
