Introduction
Decision Chess is a variant of chess that will require the move of each player to be locked in before playing them,
additionally there are no turns during "active" play. That is, both players can move their pieces on the same turn and both
moves will be played at the same time once they both agree to proceed.
The full official name of the variant is thus called Joint-Decision Chess, but that's less catchy.
Currently, this site only offers the classical standard version of chess after basic functionality was developed and enabled.
