[h1]Описание:[/h1] Игра в слепую... Это прям вообще худшее что есть у автора... Я думал мат в 4 хода сложно, но это просто вынос мозга и высшая степень извращения!

Решение 150 шахматных задач вслепую.
I didn't mind the previous titles from the Zen series having no steam cloud support, but given how hard blindfold chess can be not having steam cloud for this game is just poor game design and tells exactly how much the developers actually care about their games (not to mention the plethora of puzzles with negative elo moves and the outright broken puzzles). If you value your pennies don't waste them here
Интересная идея... Но, мать жеж грёб !! Только два вопроса... Что это за позиции ?? Там в начальной позиции "битый" король получает сразу несколько шахов с разных сторон.... И второй вопрос... Что создатели курили ?? Ведь можно было надёргать их из реальных партий... Совсем себя не берегут...))))
Another great addition to the fantastic series of Zen Chess games, this time taking us to the well-known blind chess technique and challenging our knowledge of this game once again, plus the need to exercise our memory to the maximum. Excellent challenge for the players of this ancient game.
Décidément, je ne recommande que les 'Mate in 1/2/3 moves', séries d'exercices basiques - dont vous pouvez trouver l'équivalent dans n'importe quel manuel papier, ceci dit. En effet, j'ai encore relevé quatre erreurs rédhibitoires. Je me souviens pour sûr de deux coups interdits et d'une mise en échec non mat. De plus ici, le joueur n'est pas censé reproduire les mouvements d'une partie officielle comme dans 'Champion's moves' (ce qui reste à prouver...!). Rien ne justifie donc que d'autres coups décisifs alternatifs soient invalides. L'IA préprogrammée choisit de nombreux coups faibles absolument contre-intuitifs pour les blancs comme pour les noirs, et nul besoin d'être un joueur classé pour en convenir. Ni Matt Murdock (je ne savais pas que Daredevil jouait aux échecs, et s'il ne retient que deux à quatre coups joués je ne donne pas cher de sa peau... Quelle insulte envers les joueurs aveugles, débutants autant qu'expérimentés !). Une seule route dans un jeu de logique à arborescence ? Laissez-moi rire... Ha-ha -_- À se demander si les développeurs sont eux-mêmes des praticiens... Le cas échéant, les bêta-testeurs ont leur utilité. J'ai la désagréable impression d'avoir perdu mon temps (et quelques euros). Moins de dix problèmes sur cent cinquante m'ont paru intéressants. L'idée d'entraînement de la mémorisation était bonne, pourtant, mais a été complètement gâchée à mes yeux. Je suis allée jusqu'au bout parce que n'aime pas rédiger une critique sans avoir complété un jeu au maximum - et que je collectionne les succès steam, mais ce fut une véritable corvée sur la fin. Enfin, il est à noter que l'ensemble de la gamme semble consacrer [spoiler]le sacrifice de la dame[/spoiler], comme si ce coup permettait de gagner la plupart des parties... Pas le moindre roque ni d'utilisation des bouts de bois mort... Serait-ce trop élaboré ? Quand on sait qu'une IA a battu un champion il y a plusieurs années de cela... En bref : amoureux de ce jeu pluricentenaire, fuyez (avec vos fous, vos elfes et toutes les autres pièces). C'est encore plus vrai pour les débutants, qui prendraient de mauvaises habitudes.

Infelizmente, diferente dos outros jogos da série, o estilo minimalista não funciona para a proposta de xadrez vendado, motivos: - A possibilidade de fazer lances ilegais dificulta grandemente o cálculo. - A posição que é mostrada antes das peças ficarem invisíveis não é a posição do puzzle, e sim a posição de 1 lance antes do puzzle, o que é algo totalmente desnecessário e obviamente descuidado. - Existem lances literalmente errados, no nível 37 a animação mostra que o cavalo é tomado com o peão de c, mas na verdade é com o peão de d, o que é um erro completamente inadmissível e que impossibilita a resolução do puzzle. - A interface da anotação dos lances é bugada a ponto que é possível descobrir o primeiro lance da resposta do puzzle clicando repetidas vezes no botão de start. - Todos os puzzles são cópias dos jogos passados, ao ponto de que esse nem é um jogo novo de verdade, só um ctrl+c ctrl+v para ganhar mais dinheiro de forma fácil. OBS: Apesar de tudo, discordo das avaliações que falam que os puzzles não são consistentes. Os puzzles em si são perfeitamente normais, assim como os outros da série. Só foram implementados de uma péssima forma nessa edição.
This is a nice mental exercise that can be satisfying. It has been years since I have competed in the US chess federation and I have no interest in going back. But I would like to hold on to my chess knowledge in some way. This game helps me do that. If I take the time and exert the discipline, I can commit the entire board to memory before engaging in blindfold play. I find that the more time I spend in memorizing the board, the less time it takes me to process a solution. I can hold on to my chess thanks to this developer.
