Hi, I've been making a game like chess where pieces have special abilities and health points. This allows for much finer balancing and many more variants compared to regular chess. For example, pieces can push or pull other pieces, deal area of effect (AOE) damage, have lots of health points and be difficult to destroy, use ranged attacks, etc.

There is no video explaining all the rules, but the current version is very similar to chess. These are the main things you need to know:

1) Standard attack - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhGNNlnM7K8

2) Special abilities - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbE_jL7RB0E

Here's the link - https://www.nichess.org/ (you can try it without making an account, just start a new game).

If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
