RULES:
The object of this single player puzzle game is to capture all the pieces on the card until only 1 piece remains. Choose a challenge card from the book and place it on the table. Place pieces on their matching icons. The icons are: King, queen, bishop, knight, rook, pawn. Now you must move the chess pieces in a way that every move results in a captured piece. All the pieces have their normal chess moves and are all the same color. For a refresher of those moves, check out this video. Since pieces must end in a capture, you will never be able to move a pawn forward, but rather may only capture diagonally with them. If a pawn reaches the top rank they do not get promoted. Also, there is no check rule for the king and, by design, every challenge that includes a King will end with the King as the last remaining piece.
If you are left with 2 or more pieces and are unable keep the capture streak going, then you lose and must reset the board and try again. When there is only one piece remaining, you win. Time to try your hand at the next puzzle. If you get stuck, you can reference the back of the rule book sheet for the solutions.

It does

[@MCPD_]

it is 💀

[@Adriel100Kanojo]

It is, it's called "Solo Chess"

[@alexzhukovsky8361]

Sounds like a great addition for my 4 player magic chess! When a prince piece goes onto a dungeon field, it might choose to go to a side quest and after completing it, the player will draw 5 additional spell cards.

""by design" every game including the king ends with the king" what does "by design" mean here? By design of the particular puzzles, not of the game itself, right?

[@greywolf7577]

It would have to be by design of the game. I could easily see a game where the only solution would be to use a pawn to capture a king. If the creators don't want that to happen, then they need to remove cards where that result is the only solution.

[@thefierybrib]

@@greywolf7577 yeah indeed, I mean, you can just set a King in an L position to a Knight and that's it...

[@bhuvan9956]

FYI the solution to the last puzzle is. Knight takes bishop and pawn take rook and pawn further takes knight?

[@TectonicBlaze]

Rook takes knight, then rook takes pawn, then rook takes bishop. In your solution the pawn can’t get the knight since it only goes forwards

[@kharkovluzhin8333]

@@TectonicBlaze pawn go forward but take diagonally?

[@R64GreatDays]

Solution: Rook takes Knight on A3 Rook takes Pawn on B3 Rook takes Bishop on B1 Knight cannot move since if it captures the bishop, it cannot move anymore since there are no pieces in the squares it could move to. And there is no way to catpure the knight after this. Bishop can capture Rook and then Pawn but the remaining pieces can no longer move.

[@Templarfreak]

@@kharkovluzhin8333 pawns cannot capture behind them, only in front of them (or, perhaps more clearly, they cannot capture in a direction that puts them closer to the end of the board they came from)

Solitaire Chess seems to be a bit of a misnomer. Sudoku Chess seems a lot more accurate.

[@KineticManiac]

The word "solitaire" can also refer to any single-player game, that's probably why it was named Solitaire Chess. On a different note, I don't see how this game is more similar to Sudoku than Solitaire. Care to explain?

[@nef36]

@@KineticManiac (I'll be referring to the game as Sudoku Chess out of pure stubbornness) Similarity one: they're both played on a grid, while solitaire is not. Similarity two (the more important one): In Sudoku you're given a fixed, predetermined starting position, and you have to find the right arrangement of numbers to fill everything in. In Sudoku Chess, you're given a fixed, predetermined starting position, and while you're not filling in empty squares, you're still having to find the right combination of moves to solve the puzzle under the rules. Both games even seem to have the same presentation format, as a book containing premade puzzles sorted by increasing difficulty. Compare this to solitaire: in solitaire, there is only a deck of cards, the cards are always shuffled, (so no predetermined puzzles in a real game), and it's about managing your various stacks of cards correctly to get the correct assortment order of cards in each stack.

[@KineticManiac]

@@nef36 Fair enough.

[@originalman6599]

@@nef36 lame explanation. solitaire seems more fitting just because the purpose of this game is to remove your pieces one by one. sudoku implies you're filling something in, but this is the opposite.

[@nef36]

@@originalman6599 How does the term Sudoku itself imply you're filling something in? Besides, you're filling something in in both Solitaire and Sudoku, in Solitaire's case it's stacks of cards drawn from your deck.

No because the pawns must capture in their movements they cannot move forward

Before this one, videos in this series have presented games and stated their rules (or how they differ from those of chess_.By contrast, this is an ad for a particular product (the book of problems).

[@jarynn8156]

How is it an ad? By that logic, every video of his that has ever gone over a particular product is an ad for that product. I wouldn't personally consider a video on how to play Uno to be a Mattel advertisement. Even many of his chess tutorials are very specific products that you'd have to buy from a specific company.

I wouldn't say it's boring, the harder puzzles are a doozy, but it is a fairly niche game since it doesn't involve mindlessly pulling right trigger on an FPS game.
