Chesstacle is a captivating puzzle game that combines the elegance of chess with the thrill of solving intricate tactical and strategic challenges. Unlike traditional chess, where players face off against each other, Chesstacle presents you with a pre-designed position in which you play both sides - the white and black pieces.
The goal of Chesstacle is to find a series of moves that will lead to a winning position for the side you are playing. The puzzle will specify which side you must guide to victory - either the white or black pieces. The game requires you to plan several moves ahead of time, analyze different lines of play, and determine the most effective sequence of moves.
To play Chesstacle, you must guess a sequence of moves that includes the best opening move, your opponent's best answer, and your winning move.
Moves are entered in algebraic notation, which is a standard way of representing chess moves on the board with letters and numbers. "Nf3" means move the knight to f3, whereas "d4" means move the pawn to d4.
After each guess, the game provides feedback by changing the color of the tiles on the board. Green tiles indicate that a piece is in the correct location, yellow tiles indicate that it is on the correct rank or file but in the incorrect square, and red tiles indicate that it is not on the correct rank or file.
A capture is represented by the "X" sign, and a pawn promotion is represented by the "=" symbol, followed by the piece to which the pawn is promoted. "a8=Q" indicates that the pawn on a8 should be moved to a queen on a8.
