New free chess MMO is less about the game, and more about how you choose to play

Chess. MMOs. As far as games go, they're nothing alike. But what if they were? That's the central thesis of One Million Chessboards, the brainchild of a single developer where you and hundreds of other players engage in simultaneous games of chess. This is less a mass board game, however, and more of an outlandish social experiment where you interact with others like passing ships in the night. Either way, you absolutely need to try it for yourself.
