Dutchie’s animated playable chess set comes in 2 versions, one for playing on a table, and the other for playing on the ground.
Each board has two chess-playing animations, supplemented with Bento hand animations. Turn your AO and Bento hands AO off for best results.

DECORATIVE STANDBY MODE
When the board is first rezzed, it rezzes with a decorative set of pieces. The board in this standby mode has a land impact of 22 prims.
Once a game is complete or any time you would like to wipe the board, you can do this in the menu by selecting ‘Reset board’. This will bring the board back to the decorative standby mode.
The owner of the board can also choose to clear all the pieces from the board, which brings the land impact down to 2 prims.

HOW TO PLAY
Sit on the board first. This will present you with a menu that allows you to adjust the animations if needed. Click it away when done and turn to the chess board itself.
On the sides of the chess board itself there are two buttons. Click one of the buttons that say ‘click here for chess menu’, then ‘Start Game’. This will rez the 32 real chess pieces on the board.
The first sitter can now choose to either play solo or wait for a second sitter to join by sitting on the board, clicking the ‘click here for chess menu’ button and selecting ‘Join Game’.
The colors are assigned randomly and may have to rez again to be closest to where their player sits. But the board can be flipped and sides can be switched if needed.

The board will allow most moves, however it will not allow you to move your King into the way of danger, it will return an invalid move.
When you get a pawn to the other side, you can choose what you would like to promote your pawn to via a menu.
You can offer a draw at any time by selecting it in the menu.
