Chess 2: Update

 After testing, many changes have been made:

- The attack and defense of the queen and king have been changed, as it was found that the high attack of both pieces often reduced the game to an absolute queen's gambit: 

King; 2d8 + 1d6 attack / 2d8 + 1d6 defense  --->  1d12 + 1d10 attack / 1d20 defense

Queen; 3d6 attack / 1d6 + 1d4 defense  --->  1d12 + 1d8 attack / 1d6 + 1d4 defense

So far, testing with these new values has been far more positive, as the queen and king are adequately strong attackers, while not breaking into overpowered, and their defense represents their status as glass cannons that need to be protected.

- A rule was added that prevents the equipping of more than one copy of the same equip card to one piece. This was implemented to prevent players from focusing on a one-piece strategy that revolves around equipping one piece with several equip cards and playing primarily with it, and encourage them to use all of their pieces wisely, equipping different cards to different pieces and playing a more complex game.

- We have decided to add a new piece; the pikeman, who stands between the bishop and the knight. this piece can jump forward, similarly to the knight, and can move one square diagonally, but not both in the same turn. this also results in the piece inheriting an attribute of the bishop, in that each one is limited to one color. 

- An additional rule has been suggested that would expand the board and allow players to reorganize their starting board to create their own never-before-seen strategies

Hopefully, these will add complexity and uniqueness to our game, and make it more fun.
