Skyrim Chess

Skyrim Chess is a mod that brings chess to Skyrim. It's fully playable and games can be restarted at the press of a button. To install, just hit the green subscribe button and Steam will take care of the rest. This mod doesn't require the script extender.
There is no AI.

To play:
1. Get to the game. Fast travel to Whiterun Stables and head west toward the patch of trees. After no more than 100 feet, you'll see the portal stone. Activate it to travel to the island.
2. Hit the button.
3. Talk to the pieces.

Bear rooks, elk knights, sabrecat bishops, dragon priest/wisp mother queens, and atronach kings.
Argonians and Khajiit are pawn scum heroes because Skyrim belongs to the Nords democrats people.

Can't get the pieces to move?
Remember that in chess, tiles are labeled by file (a-h) and rank (1-8). These numbers and letters don't change based on which team you're moving. A tile is always in the same spot. A1 is always in the lower left corner of the board as you're facing the board from the start button, H8 is always the top right corner of the board as you're facing the board from the start button, and so on.

Known Issues:
-- Bishops are often slow to respond and finish their turn
-- Bishops bob up and down while standing in place and appear to clip through the ground
-- Knight's heads become very twitchy if they're moved during certain animations
-- White pawns sometimes run away when they are supposed to kill another piece
Please report all other issues and leave me feedback!

Still to come:
-- Castling and en passant. Expect these very soon.
-- Pawn promotion. I haven't decided yet how I'm going to implement this. I plan to at least implement automatic queen promotion while I work on the best way to offer a selection.
