♞♝ CryptoChess 2.0.0-rc1 — C10E-R2C

First Public Release • An educational chess variant that makes Post-Quantum Cryptography concepts playable.

CryptoChess turns abstract cryptography into an interactive experience. Instead of just reading about lattice-based PQC vs classical systems, you play the difference.

Core Teaching Mechanics

  • ♞ Knight (Classical): Deterministic second move — models how classical crypto output is heavily shaped by input.
  • ♝ Bishop (PQC): Split-move system with choice in the second half — models the extra mathematical layers in lattice-based cryptography.
  • HODL mechanic: Deliberately skip input in the first half of a round to bank resources.

Three Game Modes

Mode Highlight Feature Teaching Focus
PQC Pure Bishop vs Knight Core input vs processing split
Hybrid Swappable Rook at half-time Transitional / hybrid cryptographic systems
Classical Cross-player automated Pawns Classical crypto has many interdependent moving parts

What's Included

  • Full game runtime + custom HNR verifiable randomness & receipt system
  • Multiple board themes and piece packs
  • Complete CryptoChessAssetManager (GUI + CLI) for safe verification, inspection, and launching
  • Signed teaching content and encrypted local state (generated on your device)
  • Packaged using PAH1 / PQCAsset containers from the PQC-Containers project

Quick Start (Linux / Kubuntu recommended)

chmod +x cryptochess.sh CryptoChessAssetManager.py
./cryptochess.sh run

Or launch directly:

python3 CryptoChessAssetManager.py --launch-game

Full instructions for Linux, macOS, Windows (WSL), Arch, GUI usage, and troubleshooting are in the Operator Guide.

All lines should say OK.

Important Notes

  • No private keys or local state are included in this public release.
  • On first launch you may be asked for a local device password (this stays on your machine).
  • This release is a practical demonstration of the PQC-Containers packaging system.

Play the math. Understand the future.

Thank you for trying Crypto.Chess!
