Chess needs no introduction: two players, sixteen pieces each, and a game tree deeper than anyone has ever mapped. It rewards study, punishes carelessness, and takes years to play well — which is both its appeal and its barrier.
Coridor borrows what makes chess satisfying — pure skill, no dice, complete information — but teaches in two minutes instead of two years. If you want the feeling of outthinking someone without memorising openings, start there.
