...and this, boys and girls, using imaginary numbers on a chess graph, is how the quantum characteristic of spin was discovered in rooks, two full rotations required to return to its' starting quantum state.
EDIT: When you castle the king, he's in a quantum-entangled state with the rook!
when one of the kings possible locations are checked you throw a dice to resolve the quantum position
This could actually be an interesting video game idea to explore. You can make quantum moves that get resolved by chance once a possible position is interacted with.
like you make for example three different moves on your turn. chance will decide later which one resolves as true
IIRC there is a quantum chess videogame that works like this. I don't remember the name though.
Not quantum, but 5d chess with multiverse time travel exists. It sounds complicated (and it is) but it's actually pretty intuitive to actually pick up. Basically each piece moves as it traditionally does, but instead of two axes there are 4. So a rook can move in a straight line into the past, staying in the same position. That causes a time line branch with a new board with the time traveling rook. Bishops can move diagonally across time and multiverses.
I'm doing a terrible job explaining but this website has an excellent tutorial.

Yeah, i know about 5d chess, but I'm pretty sure quantum chess also exists.
