Working on this chess variant was not a sprint, but a pilgrimage. Through the noise of fleeting ideas, I decoded a signal from the universe's logic. The journey is over. I've opened a gateway to a reality no mind has ever penetrated.

Paranormal Chess
A chess variant where reality is fragile, and every move invokes a supernatural anomaly.
