The War Chess decisions

All happen in the decision tab (Shift + Q if you don't know) under the wchess category.

Here, at the start of the game you will see two decisions :

• Start a game of chess alone

• Enter the chess pool

The first one is self-explanatory : it will start a game alone, where you play both side. You can use it to play with your coop partner (Or alone, nobody will know don't worry (We are playing HoI4, so I guess that's not really a problem)) The second one will make you enter the chess pool.

The chess pool

When a player enter the chess pool, other players will see a decision to challenge the player added You only have to click on that decision to challenge the other player. As the player challenged, he will either deny, or accept and choose his color. The game then automaticly begin
