How to play
Every chess piece on the board wants off, and each one has an arrow that shows which way it's going. Tap a piece whose way is clear and it leaves by its own chess move: rooks and bishops slide off along their line, a queen flies one of eight ways, and a knight hops its L again and again until it lands off the board.
Tap a piece that's blocked and it bumps into whatever is in the way and comes back. So the puzzle is the order: find the one piece that can go, and the rest open up behind it.
What's in it
- 70 levels in 7 chapters, one new idea each: knights that hop, pinned pieces, kings that need room, hidden pieces, tied pairs, then the Grandmaster boards with everything.
- Hard and Super hard levels are marked, so you know when a spike is coming.
- 30 Duels, white against black, where capturing the right piece at the right time is the puzzle.
- Stars for a clean read, and a crown for every chapter you finish perfectly.
- Calm by design. No timers or move limits, Restart is free, and hearts can be turned off. Hold a piece to see its way before you tap.
- A Sunday-morning look. A sage and cream board on warm paper, four piece styles and soft music.
