Whoa! this is really cool! I'm an avid chess player and I love this idea! The only thing is I wish there was a "How to Play" or "Rules" page on the main page. I'm still struggling to understand how to play this game.

Thanks! Happy to answer any questions.
I definitely need a rules page. But I think more than that I need to more clearly communicate during gameplay where people are in the hand. So for example, if you're playing with 2 pawn rounds and then 2 piece rounds (and, say, with "bet after each piece" turned on) there should be some visual representation of where the player is in that sequence at any given moment.
Or if you have the "bet every 11 moves" setting turned on, there should be a countdown while playing in the chess phase how many more moves until the next betting round.

Just added a bit of helper text into the first round. Hopefully that clarifies, in part, the flow.

Good fun - and revealed how bad I am at chess.
It seems to hang sometimes - playing on iPhone if that helps.
