A SIMPLE IDEA
Cover the board.
Better your solution.
You don’t need to be a chess player. Just learn how each piece moves and bring a good idea.
Cover.
Reach every playable square, including those already occupied by a piece.
Improve.
Every piece has a cost. Use fewer points and work towards the board’s target.
TWO WAYS TO THINK
Start simple.
Take it further.
The same goal, two ways to read the board. Choose a mode and compare.
01 / Basic
Focus on the coverage.
Place pieces without the legality restrictions of Advanced mode. Explore combinations, learn their attacks and find a more efficient solution.
- Learn to read each piece’s attacks
- Cover every playable square for the lowest cost
02 / Advanced
Another layer of strategy.
Add placement and piece-composition rules. Coverage is still your goal, but you’ll also need to build a valid position.
- Follow the placement rules
- Check infringements and refine your strategy

BEFORE YOUR FIRST MOVE
A couple more things.
Do I need to know how to play chess?
You don’t need experience playing chess matches. The pieces keep their familiar moves, and the interactive tutorial teaches you how to use them to cover the board.
What makes a good score?
Fewer points is better. Each piece has a cost: queen 9, rook 5, bishop 3, knight 3 and pawn 1. Your challenge is to cover every playable square with an efficient combination.
How do I earn three stars?
Find a valid solution with a score at or below the board’s target. If you solve it with more points, you earn one or two stars depending on how close you are to the target.
What does Premium include?
Levels 4 and 5 in Basic and Advanced, plus the full calendar of the last 30 days. You can start for free with levels 1 to 3 in each mode.
