Great game, challenging but not too difficult as to be frustrating. My six year old likes it too. Some suggestions: Keep track of the number of moves so you can try for a higher score. Add some opponent pieces that can threaten your pieces and thus limit your movement (excepting the king, of course) and that you can capture. Oh, and I want to see a pawn capture the king!
Bravo! I found the game on Cool Math Games because I was bored and putting off studying for a test, and I discovered this game of brilliant design! So brilliant and properly difficult, but once you solve a level you feel a good sense of accomplishment. The way it works you really have to understand the puzzle to make it through, at least with the later harder levels. You can't really stumble upon the solution without understanding it, and it's so welly created! I love the use of these classic mechanics of chess pieces being used in such a creative out of the box way! I played the game and thought, "I wish I had thought of this and made it! It would've been so cool to take credit for such an awesome and brilliant game!" I had to look up the game on google to find it here on itch.io, bravo! One of the cleverest small games I've seen, great job!
I loved it! Really fun, with right level of difficulty and quite original! The last level was challenging but it was nice to never have to restart it. Good job really, very polished and interesting levels!

you can beat level 10 with horse
lol
Loved the game, music didn't get on my nerves, the puzzles were difficult.
Game too easy for me !
The mechanics seems easy to set up, but the level building and the difficulty curve show skill. This is a great game today.
Music is very nice. Can I have mp3 or midi for listening please?
Awesome... It took me a while to figure out pawn promotion in level 15.
That last level was absolutely insane. The way it combined every mechanic was just perfect.
i love it
hi! this is yours? https://www.silvergames.com/en/chess-move
Nope, just a bad clone
as I suspected ;)
have you thought about making another chess based game?
🧐Which came first, this or the modern Atari homebrew Fallen Kingdom? http://www.indieretronews.com/2021/09/fallen-kingdom-upcoming-atari-xlxe.html
Chessformer came first at the start of 2021. This isn't the first clone I've seen and probably won't be the last.
Great game, how many levels are there in the steam version?
Double the levels which is 48.
Congratulations for getting #1 on Bart Bonte's list of the top ten indie logic games of 2021! You absolutely deserved it!

Excellent puzzle game! It just needs an undo button.

What piece do I pick on the first piece picking level?
What do you mean "piece picking"? Do you mean pawn promotion
well it is either the knight or the queen (bishop and rook are just bad, partially functioned queen)
Beat the game! Puzzles are tough but fair, great use of chess pieces and mechanics.
I liked how you sometimes it's better to turn your peon into a Knight, rather than a Queen (just like in real chess!)
I loved it!

when the bishop can change the color square it's on.
