Contested Ground

Reading the board

For every square, the piece standing on it counts as one, and every piece that could attack or defend that square counts as one more. White's total and Black's total are compared, and the square takes the color of whichever side is ahead, by how much.

Blue is White's ground and orange is Black's. Pale areas are contested or empty. The colors blend between squares, so the board reads as territory rather than a grid. Each king is the small glow in its side's color.
