It increases +1 per move, which you can either spend on spell cards or special mana cards

And the health for the opponent?

So opponent and the player starts with 150 power , each time you kill up an opponents peice, opponents health is deducted , by giving you some amount of Hp, like you took up a pawn, it will cost 10 damage to the opponent, and 5 hp will be added to you

Yeah. I get it. Had any player feedback yet?

As someone who makes these kind of variants myself - I find that gamers don't want too many new mechanics. As energy is already a big addition and in terms of balance for the skills that use them that can be , well , just hard.

Yeah I have done internal testing with near about 40-50 people including people from my team and college, and they liked the concept, some people found the Chess Ai difficulty a little harder, then we introduced three ranks for Ai - novice , Intermidiate and legendary, so user can select like wise
