Puzzle chess
A duel, one piece per turn — the clock decides
The idea
Two players, one puzzle, and a clock each, just like in chess. The puzzle frame is already assembled in the middle; the other pieces are laid out around it, well apart. A coin toss decides who starts.
Turn by turn
During your turn, your clock runs and only you can touch the pieces (your opponent still sees your cursor move). As soon as you fit a piece to another one, the turn passes: your opponent plays, and their clock starts.
Winning
The game ends when a clock hits zero (the other player wins) or when the puzzle is complete: the player with the most time left wins. The host picks the picture, the number of pieces and the time per player; by default, 96 pieces and 10 minutes.
