Overview
In each level, you start out with a single chess piece on a board scattered with various static pieces. Your movement is defined by whatever your piece is (ie. a Rook, Queen, Pawn, etc.), but each time you take a piece, you become that piece and inherit its movement limitations. Each level is a puzzle where you have a set number of moves and a time limit in which you must try and obtain a coin on the board, after which you progress to the next level.
It offers a fresh twist on Chess and is a relaxing way to practice your skills, and get to grips with the movement of chess pieces.
