I didn't like the idea of a queen on one board capturing the king on another board as her first move. And then I tried this rule and thought it created really fun counterplay when you're trying to capture a piece someone else is controlling, since you can move to a new board to be safe (and can lay traps this way).

I'm sorry you don't like that decision! But I think that I stand by it.

If you did want to experiment with supporting cross-board captures, an alternate way to address that could be by rotating the board 180° every other row, so that white pieces have other white pieces behind their home rank.

oh this is a pretty fun idea! If I decide to keep this one around for a bit maybe I'll play with doing this after wiping the board

This would be fun!

There exists a player, as of today, who can capture across borders with no apparent in-between cross-color moves or delay.
