TicTacRook

tictacrook_v1

"Torre en raya" in spanish. TicTacRook is a deep, abstract strategy variant for Fairy-Stockfish that seamlessly fuses chess mobility with alignment goals. Played on an empty 8x8 grid, both players start with a reservoir of 16 pieces available to drop anywhere on the board. Alternatively, players can move their existing pieces, which slide horizontally or vertically exactly like Chess Rooks, but cannot capture or jump over others. The ultimate goal is to align 5 pieces in a row—horizontally, vertically, or diagonally—to win. This hyper-mobility transforms defensive blocking, offering a dynamic, tactical challenge where a single long-range slide can instantly shatter an opponent's strategy.
