[h1] „Każdy mistrz kiedyś był zielony – różnica jest taka, że jedni odpuścili, a inni cisnęli dalej…’’. .” [/h1] [b] Komentarz zdobyciu wszystkich osiągnięć [/b] Jak chcesz być drugim Magnus Carlsen, to nie ma co się obijać, tylko siadać i cisnąć te zagadki. Tu nie ma filozofii – jeden ruch, mat i jedziesz dalej. Trochę pogłówkujesz, trochę się pomylisz, ale z czasem zaczynasz ogarniać i widzisz więcej na planszy. Każdy kiedyś zaczynał, nawet najlepsi, więc zamiast gadać – ruch i do przodu

强烈推荐! 禅意满满~!美术与音乐配合相得益彰~! 我每次都是一口气把300题都做完的。它能够让人从极度焦躁与痛苦中解脱出来,让人的心平静下来。游戏有心理疗愈功能! 最后的几十题难度减少,我觉得我能get到作者的点。这个游戏的主题是禅,不是设计用来打关底BOSS的!它的难度顺序与谜题的结构顺序正是精挑细选的特意之举,让冥想专注的心流能够自然地进入某种境界,其如同《神曲》地狱、炼狱、天堂的顺序,如同“看山是山,看水是水;看山不是山,看水不是水;看山还是山,看水还是水”的顺序。 这个游戏,不同水平的国际象棋棋手,体验下来感觉其实很不相同的。 我的最好成绩是,一口气300题,只走错1步棋,那1步说明了什么,真是富有深意啊~ --------发布测评时加速器未开导致错误未能显示从而再次测评-------- “国际象棋水很深的”,这是国际象棋圈内流传已久的。
A puzzle style chess game. 300 levels. Total playtime around 4-8h depending on your chess affinity. The game will not help to improve your chess skill. Some negatives: [list] [*] The game progress is saved in the Windows Registry and gets lost in larger Windows updates. [*] Has only one background music track that gets annoying after a few hours. [/list]
A very simplistic game but a nice and quick way to learn different moves in chess and help grow understanding and awareness of how to play.
詰ませられてないとき、なにがダメなのか教えてくれ~
I just finished the first 70 levels and I really like it so far. That en passant checkmate was crazy, I loved it. A few things about the mechanics that could be better: you can’t drag the pieces, selecting or unselecting a piece is slow, it would be nice to show legal moves or even disable illegal moves, and maybe allow setting an advantage for black or white with points. Also, having the FEN of the puzzles would be great for anyone who wants to study the game more. The sound and ambience are really calm and relaxing, the opposite of a normal chess game for me because I usually get mad when I make a mistake. Overall, it’s a really nice game to just chill and play.
