+
+## Overview
+
+I think Chess, and by extension other Tabletop games need the ability to "snap" pieces into "boardgame spaces". This is a peeve of mine of misaligned pieces.
+
+## Background
+
+In the current state of the game. you can pick up pieces and place them anywhere. not only can you make "illegal" moves, you can completely misalign pieces.
+
+## Features to be added
+
+I would like to add, at minimum, a change to the system to allow the definition of "snapping" to a grid, or allowed "area" (the captured pieces zone in chess)
+
+## Game Design Rationale
+
+Consider addressing:
+- How does the feature align with our [Core Design Principles](../design/design-principles.md) and game philosphy?
+
+It expands on the current system, allowing for easier use of tabletop games, hopefully increasing their use
+
+## Roundflow & Player interaction
+
+Consider addressing:
+- At what point in the round does the feature come into play? Does it happen every round? How does it affect the round pace?
+- How do you wish for players to interact with your feature and how should they not interact with it? How is this mechanically enforced?
+
+Self explanitory, it expands the ability to use these interactions
+
+## Administrative & Server Rule Impact (if applicable)
+
+- Does this feature introduce any new rule enforcement challenges or additional workload for admins?
+- Could this feature increase the likelihood of griefing, rule-breaking, or player disputes?
+- How are the rules enforced mechanically by way the feature will be implemented?
+
+N/A
+
+# Technical Considerations
+
+- Are there any anticipated performance impacts?
+- Does the feature require new systems, UI elements, or refactors of existing ones?
+- For required UI elements, give a short description or a mockup of how they should look like (for example a radial menu, actions & alerts, navmaps, or other window types)
+
+This requires the consideration of;
+different tabletop games
+"out of board" areas (such as the chess "capture" zone)
