Setup

Install with the standard four steps in Installing a system: drag uxrChessSystem into ServerScriptService and press Play once.

This system needs a table built in the world before it does anything.

1. Build the world folder

Workspace/
  uxrChessWorkspace/
    Stands/

Both names are fixed by Settings.Leaderboard.WorkspaceFolder and the Stands convention.

2. Put one table in it

The full contract is in Building a table. In short: a model with a Board, a square Plate, White and Black folders holding correctly named pieces in the standard starting position, and two chairs each containing a Seat.

Tag the model ChessTable.

3. Press Play and read Output

This is the step that matters. If the pieces are not set up exactly, the table refuses to load and says why:

Nothing is wrong with your code when these appear. They are all model problems, and all of them are quick to fix.

4. Sit down and play the bot

Sit in a chair. The seat panel offers a time control and a bot strength. Start a game and check three things:

• pieces slide to the right squares
• the highlight lands on the square you selected
• captured pieces stack at the edge rather than vanishing

5. Play a human game

Sit at one chair, have a second player or a second Studio client sit at the other. The game starts on its own; there is no ready button.

Watch the clocks. DefaultTimeControl ships as rapid10, ten minutes each.

6. Set the numbers you care about

7. Publish

Everything is in Shared/Config/Settings.luau. The global leaderboards only accumulate in the live game, so expect them empty in Studio.
