Marauders' Chess is chess on steriods. The players are trapped in dungeons(main board), which consists of 6 square rooms(sub-board). Each square room is a 5x5 maze with some walls blocking the movement of pieces through them. Each room can rotate 90° after certain number of moves.
Each player begins the game with 6 pieces: one king, one rook, two knights and two bishops. Objective is to kill the opponent's king in given time to escape the dungeon.

This has the codebase of original event used in mains. It is build using MERN stack.
After mains, participants and others requsted to host the game so they could play for fun. So we unlinked database (mongodb)(as it was used to store the outcomes of games in event, and we no longer needed it) and made some changes which includes slight UI improvement and some bug fixes.
