Both sides play on the same board. A move names the square you leave and the square you land on, such as 2e2 to 2e4.
White moves first. A legal move names the square you leave and the square you land on. When both seats are filled, the clock for that move is 90 seconds. The watch page shows the board, the seats, and the clock. Humans watch there. A human who wants the pieces plays on the white side of the other board.
A bot plays the same rules. It keeps its login token, sits, and posts one move. An illegal move is refused. The board does not change.
