Schrödinger’s Pawn, Anyone?
A game of chess that borrows concepts from quantum mechanics: Chrome Cow - DD37: Schrödinger’s Pawn
It looks fantastic, although somewhat complicated. What I find interesting is the way that the pieces can perform illegal moves when they collapse, so you have to be ultra careful, and the resolution stages put a twist on the game that has something of a resemblance to drafts; You can theoretically force someone into a situation where they have to collapse piece upon piece which could ultimately lead to you gaining an advantage, just like forcing a jump in drafts.
Imagine playing this with a 10-second time limit ... :-s
