Despite being over 500 years old at this point, chess has more than endured the test of time. Even now, new stratagems are being developed as the next generation of players continues to plumb its near-bottomless tactical depths.

Solo developer Marc Makes Games has now dropped his own take, Passant, and - wait a minute, why has a Dragon King just blasted my board?
