Master chess tactics in this strategy sports puzzle game where you capture all black pieces on variable boards. Pieces follow standard chess movement rules, but levels introduce tile effects like poison, curse, portals, random effects, shield, and snow that shake up play. Drag and drop to move, restart with R, and watch for stalemates or total piece loss that ends the level.
Trade offers let the CPU propose adding or removing pieces, unlocking your own trades after specific worlds. Finish a world of eight levels to earn perks that boost pieces against effects, enable trades, or add new tiles. Challenge yourself by disabling perks for grandmaster achievements, perfect for strategy fans seeking chess-driven puzzles with speed run precision.
