Hyggeligt og lærigt og svært
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.
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]
Good game, very fun way to relax.
play is smooth. puzzles go on forever.
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.
