I added basic matchmaking functionality to Cooperative Chess. You can now indicate your desire to play in a temporary room with another player in any of the default (Easy, Normal, or Hard) difficulties. On a related but different note, I find that I typically play Co-op Chess with voice over discord, and in doing so realize that there are certain types of information that I find it's more fun when I convey it (things like "I think we can bonus" or "I see checkmate"). I want to know if players want a feature with canned phrases like this, so I posted a question in the Cooperative Chess discussion forum. Any feedback there would be appreciated. Thanks!

When your friends win, you win.
Co-op Chess occurs in rounds, and in each round you must occupy all the "!" squares.
Acheive checkmate for either side and you both win!
If you've read this far, you must want some feature details
- Customizable difficulty.
- Single-player mode if you want to learn in a safe place (or if that's just your thing).
- Avatar customization unlocked by completing achievements.
- Private games with friends.
The story behind Cooperative Chess
Cooperative Chess is part of what has retroactively been termed a "molasses jam" run by the Bay Area Dev Collective. The theme of the jam was to make a violent genre non-violent. Somehow the idea of co-op chess came up during a brainstorming session, and I knew immediately that I had to figure out how to make it work. And now you and a friend get to experience it yourselves.The other molasses game jam games are also on steam:
