Developer @alexcooldev released a 2026-08-03 update to their 3D chess game, adding three battle systems, local two-player mode, animated walking pieces, a full sound system, and performance improvements. The author emphasizes rapid development—an initial two-hour build plus roughly one hour of additional 'vibe coding' produced the new features—and shared a demo video, claiming it can replace macOS's default chess.

After getting tons of feedback on the 3D chess game I vibe-coded in 2 hours, I just shipped another update:
→ 3 new battle systems
→ Two-player mode
→ Walking animations for the chess pieces
→ A complete sound system
→ Improved performance
And the crazy part is I only needed another hour of vibe coding to build all of this.
You can officially replace the default chess game on your MacBook now lol. 😆
