A Chess Puzzle Experience
Every Move Has a Cost
Command Rooks, Bishops & Queens across a marble board. Capture every target. Spend as few moves as possible. Then challenge the world to do better.
Three principles govern the board. A lifetime to perfect them.
Chess pieces move exactly as in chess. The Rook slides straight, the Bishop cuts diagonal, the Queen commands all. Every tile you cross costs a move.
A Rook can only take a Rook target. A Bishop a Bishop. Land on the matching target — it vanishes. Clear every target to solve the board.
Fast tiles reduce your move count. Slow tiles add to it. The true puzzle is threading the perfect path through the board's terrain.
Each piece is a different way of seeing the board. Master all three to dominate it.
The workhorse. Slides any number of tiles in a straight line — methodical, powerful, and devastatingly efficient when the board opens up.
Forever bound to one colour, cutting the board on a knife's edge. The Bishop rewards the players who see angles others cannot.
Unmatched in freedom, yet her cost scales with every tile she crosses. The Queen is the ultimate test: raw power demands perfect discipline.
The baseline. Every tile you traverse is a move spent. Reading the board is your first puzzle.
Utilize fast tiles to save moves from your total — a critical edge on tight puzzles.
Treacherous ground. Avoid the snail tiles or pay dearly — the scoreboard punishes those who don't read its terrain.
Solve your puzzle — that exact board gets saved as a challenge for an opponent. They play your puzzle and each players strategy gets compared. Same board, individual strategies, judged on efficiency and time.
ELO tracks every outcome across every difficulty. Efficient wins earn the most. Just as effecient but slower? No penalty — thoughtfulness is never punished.
Every puzzle has a perfect solution.
Yours is waiting to be found.
