Level 14 has a solution where f3xd3, d3xd4, c6xe5 takes out _all_ the pieces and leaves the stage empty. An empty stage I suppose doesn't count as having one piece left? I suppose that's intentional, but it feels a little weird looking at the empty board and having to hit the reset button. :)
And on the flip side, Level 37: having a bomb left I guess counts as a piece?
Really lovely game. I think levels 47, 48, and 50 are my favorites.
Yeah, these design choices were deliberate. Once I introduced bombs and self-destructing pieces, I realized it was sometimes easy to cheese the game if an empty board counted as victory.
I forget in which level, but the position notation is wrong for one level's hint. it says "Bishop e4 to g5" when it should be "Bishop e4 to g6" or something like that, and this error is carried over to the next line. I don't remember the exact level where the error is, but its somewhere around level 39-ish I think
Such a fun and clever twist on chess—love how the special rules keep things fresh and challenging! Great job making something so engaging and easy to pick up.
Another bug i found: If i reopen the game it starts giving me the older palettes and I can't unlock the new ones (unless I played the game in one sitting)
It is interesting of how based on how chess is (or at least how I break down games) this could over time give a basis for learning chess, but only after playing real chess and wanted to get better.
Either way I love the game, its a a creative take on chess of controlling both sides, almost feels like chess solitaire, so keep up the good work!
It’s mostly entertainment. If you want to improve at chess, you should do it the old-school way: tons of puzzles, learn the moves, and play against strong opponents.

Interesting concept, well executed, but I think it lacked potential to expand. It gets tiring pretty quickly
존나재밌네요 커스텀 모드 만들어주세요
Fun stuff. It wasn't particularly challenging, but I always love putting creative twists on Chess. Well done!
This is really good.

Amazing! I'm going to use your game to help my children learn how to play chess. Well done once again!

Release this on mobile platform, it would be successful.

It was a fun take on solo chess with the new rules implemented Overall, I had fun <3

hey man wanna collaborate?
Great game!
chess battle simplified
Here's a board game version of it, if anyone wants to take the concept on the go: Solitaire Chess
This is a nice, relaxing, digital version of that game. Good job!
Love this game so muchhh 2000/10
Thank you! This means a lot!
The last puzzle took me 10 minutes and I still don't know how I solved any of those puzzles. :D No Castling/10

Mannn i don't think this real chess hmmm
(Just a funny comment; I know what chess is/how to play)
This was really fun to play!
cool game!
does this actually help you play chess as a beginner?

This really cool game great jo
how am i meant to play the game when downloading it? there's no application to play.
There’s no desktop version, so you should just play it in your browser. It even supports touch controls.
please make a desktop one. it wont load on 3 of my browsers. it just gets stuck
It’s been a while since I tried making a desktop version. I’ll try to make it happen soon.
Will keep you updated!
Does it work from the itch.io app? (not the browser - the actual downloadable itch launcher)
Open the index.html file (the one with opera’s logo)
i havent even played and i would rate it 20/10 because its not a game that either has: way too much murder, or is a horror game
edit: or a romace game
It technically has a lot of murder.
highly entertaining for my adhd ridden brain
Haha, glad I could entertain you!
awesome and fun game!
Thanks!
Please
a chess game with a different premise, I loved it!
It's a fun chess-based game! A few were a bit challenging but after a bit of thinking I was able to work it through
Awesome game!! I just wish i could hide the big arrow that appears after some tries
I initially made the game for a very casual audience, so that’s why I erred on the side of caution :)
I’ll take it out in the next update
good game!:thumbsup:
Bug with level 11, I can't move the pawn to e4. If there's an alternate solution for this I'd love to hear it.
It's a black pawn it goes down not up
yeah but the hint shows that youre supposed to move pawn to queen, and you can only move pieces by capturing
Edit: figured it out but sadly i couldnt get a screenshot in time and theres no way to replay levels
It says that the colors are reversed, it is a problem on the developers' side of things, here is the actual solution though.
Really relaxing game. :)
Great game!
small bug in level 17 though, where you can remove all the pieces from the board, resulting in the game just stopping.
Same bug can happen on level 37
