Traitors chess
Inspired by Towers card game from book blacktongue thief.
Used AI to test my theory and structure the rules in readable format. Will this be something you play with your friends on weekends?
TRAITOR'S CHESS
Setup
Play standard chess.
Each player receives 2 Traitor Cards: Bishop and Knight,
Before the game, secretly choose one card. Keep it hidden.
Betrayal

Reveal your card and choose one opponent's piece of that type
• The opponent must have at least 2 pieces of that type remaining
• The chosen piece permanently becomes your piece.
Turned Piece
. The traitor follows all normal movement and capture rules.
. It can be captured normally by the opponent.
It cannot give check immediately after being turned.
• It must first make 1 legal move under its new owner.
After that move, it is fully active and may give check normally

TRUST NO ONE.

TCL warranty service is evil
I purchased a TCL tv during the flipkart sale and it was delivered today. After delivery i unboxed it, installed my old wall mount and plugged it in.
TCL/flipkart provides a installation service which was scheduled for tomorrow. As the tv installation was already complete I called TCL to cancel the appointment.
As per their policy as the tv was installed by "third party", the warranty is now void. Why tf would they void warranty just to plug in the tv? The mount is solid, it's connected to a voltage stabilizer and placed in an ideal environment.
What can I do to get my warranty back? Can I complain to the consumer forum?
I have not raised a case via email with TCL support yet to ask for clear guidance on the warranty. This is India.
Edit. I was able to register the product using the TCL home app. Hopefully they will not bring up installation issue of I claim the warranty in future. Still mad about outright saying warranty is void for installing it on my own. It's just 4 screws, 1 power chord and output from my media device.
