Hahaha, not really There are the QGraphicsEffects, which would be awesome if they wouldn't fail so badly on the performance side. So it's all down to manually programming the animations (not as bad as it sounds, connect to a QTimeLine, apply transformations in the callback), and do pixmap caching where possible.

Right, there is a whole series of bugs related to check. I even managed to get my king captured (no knights involved).
