I recently started Steem-Chess and after some consideration and inspiration from user @mattclarke who also started #chessmatch in his post I decided to make the visualization a bit easier on the eyes and include a real chess table next to the unicode one.
Also a post that deserves a mention is one by @good-karma called Turn-Based games on the block-chain. Give it a read!
Surprisingly though the unicode one looks really great and easy to the eye on your phone! You should definitely check it out there if that helps.

If Steemit wins, 3 players with most moves receive 45% of the posts rewards (this one is combined with part 1)
5% goes to the person who had most of the last 10 moves.
30% of the post rewards are left in the "Season JackPot" to be won at the end of the tournament.
More about the details, check out the announcement post
They might also be fine-tuned depending on how many readers are following the moves and voting the different alternatives given by the community forward.
