what do you mean? Every level requires there to be 1 piece for it to count as a finish, no more, but also no less. Try it on a level with a bomb that blows up every single one of your pieces, or one with one of the red pieces, making sure to capture the last piece with the red one, so none are left.
You should normally see that the level doesn't finish, as you have no pieces left. Now do the same with one piece left, and the level will finish.
So @khobble64 is correct.
If you can show me the moves in a level where you have no pieces left, but still go to the next level, I will revoke my statements. But because I have also played the game, and accidentily left no pieces, and didn't finish, I will not accept just words without evidence. At this moment the majority (2v1) is saying that 0 pieces left isn't a finish.
This could be a bug in the code, but your second comment is denying this. So, test it, play any level with the option to have no pieces left, do that solution. And then you'll see that it doesn't finish in any level (atleast with the bomb, red pieces im not ganne say, as that could also be a bug)
The only bug that it could reasonably be is that the finish level requirement loop has something wrong. More specificly, that the finish level requirement has an if(piecesleft = 1){finishlevel()} or something in the lines of this (I do not have access to the code, so most of my code here is just logical reasoning with my coding background).
What could be the bug there? The piecesleft = 1 checks if there is 1 piece left, not less than or equal to 1 piece left. (the equals sign works like in math, a wierd < has to be added to make the less than or equal)
At least add animation while the piece is moving toward the captured piece and add animation of knocking it out, not just replacing the sprite with the new one
Really cool game 👍. A drag & drop feature would be a nice improvement. And red blinking pieces isn't a good choice from what I know, makes the game less accessible to people with disabilities.
Edit: would be cool to be able to promote pawns when you capture on the last rank.
Awesome. Really cool idea and very polished! Some thoughts:
I found the visuals distracting, e.g. the palette changing automatically on each unlock, the animated background, the flashing pieces.
It adds mechanics gradually with some easy puzzles to show how they work, but I'd like to explore that mechanic more before moving to the next. I'd like some more challenging puzzles. 50 was REALLY satisfying, I'd love some more like that!
Do red and green pieces also act as golden pieces? At first I thought it was a bug that I could take a white piece with a green/white piece.
I'd like to be able to move between the levels faster without the confetti/new palette.
I would add (non-flashing) patterns so colourblind players can differentiate the special pieces.
I'd like to be able to deselect a piece by clicking on it again.
It got me thinking in shapes to visualise how all the pieces could connect, which was nice.
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.

Level 37?
37 was easy
you need to leave 1 piece
there are many levels that let you win leaving no piece, those with red pieces or bombs (like this one)

solved in like 40 minutes, very great game!!!

very coool!!!!!!!!!!

good game
ez
This is called solo chess on chess.co

As an 1800 I found the mechanics cute and the visuals were very enjoyable, the soundtrack was great too, but the game was a bit easy.
" perfect for beginners"

Well done!!
the game is to easy (sorry)
it says in the description that its a casual game for beginners
ohh
Reminds me of these puzzles: https://www.puzzle-chess.com/
As a 1800 rated fellow chess player, I liked the visual aesthetic, and game play. And yeah the new theme colors needs some contrast. Well done.
As a 350 rated occasional chess player I feel dumb but still enjoyed the game.
I'm enjoying the game so far, but the first few unlocked color palettes lack good contrast, which makes it hard to tell white from black
I loved every element of this game. Lvl 44 and 50 took me a while. Thanks for making this :)
I loved it so much, hope you will create more levels!
i Cant install it ):
you play it in the browser
Reset the level, you need to keep 1 alive
Already finish the game, nice game.
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.

Glad you liked the game!
Very fun game :)
Loved the puzzles, very well designed

was fun
Such a fun game!!
Amazing! I'm going to use your game to help my children learn how to play chess. Well done once again!
really fun game!! a nice casual take on chess for sure (:
Release this on mobile platform, it would be successful.
Awesom
Short game, but i liked it.
It was a fun take on solo chess with the new rules implemented Overall, I had fun <3
Insanely good gfame. Congrats.
Get this on steam ASAP and start printing money (Id pay $5 easily)

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
