I see reviews from people that say this is not challenging but they have played less than 2 hours. If you use the guide then sure, you could do that but this honestly is tricky if you play it without cheating. I am an experienced chess player - 40 years and counting - and this is a good little puzzle game that will drive you nuts at times.

A rather entertaining chess puzzle game. Maybe not the best one out there, but definitely worth spending a few hours on, if you love chess.

I am bothering to downvote this game because I particularly did not enjoy it, I found it very boring to play. Two major mistakes I think the creator made were to not show which pieces were attacking where and to immediately move on to the next level after beating the current one (I need to be able to see *why* I won first, before I go moving on, in order to enjoy it...). I don't think a lot of work was really put…
