推荐。 谜题还是比较容易。毕竟只有Mate in 4而已。 谜题比Mate in 1肯定要难,所以顾着游戏时长和复杂位置的真实对局减少,只有100题。

Great puzzles to improve chess visualisation and common mating patterns, it helped me a lot.
This was a nice challenge. There are 100 carefully selected chess puzzles in this game where the solution was difficult but not unusual. Most of these patterns can be found in typical chess games. My only complaint was that after the 50th puzzle, the game stopped giving out achievements. That is a small problem but I like receiving achievements. Why stop them in mid-game? Thank you again developers for a great chess game. I will play through them again sometime to stay tactically sharp.

Das Gefühl das ich bei Mate in Three gehabt habe, hat sich hier verfestigt. Bei einigen Levels verhält sich schwarz vollkommen unlogisch, meist der König selbst. Du fährst mit einer ungedeckten Dame neben den König und alles was der König macht ist ein Feld weg zu ziehen, anstatt die ungedeckte Dame zu schlagen. Das hat deutlich den Spielspass und den potentiellen Lernerfolg stark gemindert. Darum kann ich hier leider keine Empfehlung aussprechen.
All mate in 1,2,3,4 games are very nice, makes you think, and it's very satisfying to solve some harder ones.. Sometimes i solve a puzzle but can't really tell how and why. The colors and the bightness are a little tiring for my eyes. You can adjust sound and music volume (upper left corner, barely visible) and listen to your own music. About illegal moves... I have a wooden chessboard at home and i can move them so illegally, that chess-cops once fined me becouse i set up my rooks upside down.
The final installation in the Zen Chess series promises to be the most complex, having to think 4 moves ahead - however, also, it is the weakest, and not quite unexpectedly. To the forefront comes the problem of Mi2 and Mi3 - the game is a puzzle game with a chess skin, and not a chess game. The game doesn't counter your moves, it just reacts like an automaton - if you make the right move, then it makes its (pre-baked) countermove, if you make the wrong move, it just resets the puzzle. It was sort of OK for 2 moves, annoying but bearable for 3 moves, and really disappointing for 4 moves. In addition, the puzzles are markedly weaker than in the previous games. Having done the first 50 (which should be all, but then there are more?), these puzzles are 90% about check, check, check - there are hardly any where you need to find a clever setup move which leaves black with its pants down. The counter-moves the computer player makes are also sometimes suspicious - I'm not saying they are wrong, but they do look silly, like moving away from the attacking undefended queen instead of taking it. The game kept the nice interface of its predecessors, but that's hardly something difficult to do - with the more-often-than-not disappointing puzzles, I can't wholeheartedly recommend this 4th installment of the Zen Chess series.
