Duolingo Chess Play with Player Interaction

A stylized chess match in the Duolingo app where players compete against classic characters like Lily. Tapping a piece highlights valid moves on the board with subtle circular indicators. When a piece is moved, it slides smoothly to its destination square. The opponent mascot at the top of the screen reacts dynamically to the game's progress, shifting from an idle state to expressive animations like eye rolls, sighs, and head tilts. The custom chess pieces, designed as various hand gestures, add a unique visual layer, while the dual timers at the top track each player's turn with ticking countdowns.
