It might be copyrighted....?

wow ok

Chess.com could technically reach out to the creators and get them to help recreate it for chess.com (similarly to with 4 Player Chess), or they could just technically just make a "knock-off" of it, which I'm pretty sure is allowed...

As a note, this would be better in https://www.chess.com/club/variants

I was unable to pull up the rules on the website, but a "real time" chess game with no turns and a free-for-all with both players moving pieces at once.... How do you suggest the site deal with lag? ... at least in traditional chess there are defined turns and it's relatively (but not completely) simple to account for lag between each move. In this, it seems like lag would be a killer disadvantage. (?)

I suppose you could say the same thing about first person shooters as well.... so maybe that's not such a big deal

I tried to play a game vs their AI and the site appeared to crash, or it would not load properly on my machine. So I'm making a lot of assumptions as I can't see how it actually works out.

I agree this is probably better posted in the variants group. It's interesting though, glad I came across it here

I managed to get it to work on my computer and played a game against the AI. It was pretty fun and I managed to win against the novice AI. I do think AI would be a lag but I don't really know after one game.

Kung fu chess is fun

@plux I'm sure there would be a lot more lag if it was on chess.com, but at least for me, the kung-fu chess site works fine... It's probably just your internet or computer that's the problem.
