Crowe Chess v1.0 brings physical untimed chess to RedM/VORP servers with synchronized PvP matches, configurable NPC opponents, and complete standard rules.
Players sit as White or Black, select physical pieces with a camera-aligned cursor, and move them to highlighted legal squares while the compact Crowe interface keeps the full board visible.
