Unique puzzle game!  I think my biggest oversight was underestimating how strong the move-multiple-spaces-at-once power was.  Once I started doing that, the chess pieces were no match :)

I think it might be easier to understand if the chess pieces highlighted the entire danger squares rather than just the arrows.  The arrows work okay for the rooks and bishops, but it's very noisy when the knights get involved which squares are actually a threat to the player.

Loved it, the level introducing the knights was fairly difficult.

This is my favorite game so far. Felt very rewarding to destroy the reign of chess pieces. Nice work.

Really enjoyed that, the level introducing the knights was my favorite. I think a lot of the levels don't go far enough to restrict freedom of movement, but that one makes you have to plan and really felt like chess. Great job!

Well designed chess puzzle. How does the ai the chess pieces work,? They seem to react differently base on my moves
