This is clearly a labor of love, and giving the game its own domain shows your confidence in it. That said, I will point out some things. A trial-and-error process like evolution is not the same thing as a quest for a holy grail. To call this game an evolution of chess could mean one of two things. It could mean it is a mutation of chess, but so are most chess variants, and being a mutation is not a significant milestone of any kind. It could also mean that it is a time-tested accumulatíon of small mutatíons that have become widely accepted by a large community of players as a new standard. In this sense, Chess is an evolutíon of Shatranj. But since Qhesz is the new creation of one person, and it has not had time to catch on anyway, it does not count as an evolution in this sense.

It's not clear from the description of the rules whether castling with rooks is still part of the game.

The crescent moon and star is the symbol of Islam. Some Muslims might not approve of its use for a wizard type piece.

I read this on my new Likebook Mars, which uses e-ink, and the white text on a black background was making the ghosting more visible than usual. Also, it did not seem mobile-friendly enough. The links on the right had little space left, and they were overlapping a bit with the main body.
