Glad you're enjoying it. Making it to Level 13 is pretty awesome. I remember one of the early playtesters calling it 'the level from hell'.

- Choco31415 3y agoAre you sure that level 13 is possible? There doesn't seem to be a way to both take the f2 king and the a1 pawn. The b6 bishop can't reach either. The d1 pawn can only reach one or the other.
- ramly 3y agoAbsolutely :) It has more than one solution, with the optimal one using 35 moves. Have you tried solving level 12 first? The 'aha' moments in echo chess build up on each other one level at a time.
- Choco31415 3y agoI have! It was a light and fun level. c:
- ramly 3y agoPerfect. So the same mechanic learned in 12 can be leveraged in 13+. Obviously here timing is everything. I think 13 is a good example of a level where 'forward' or 'backward' passing alone won't be enough. It's almost like the best strategy to solve these mazes is 'middle out' (not to be confused with the infamous algorithm by Richard Hendricks).
- buzzin_ 3y agoSpoilers: Work your way to the a1 pawn, then a2 king can take the f2 king.

- stevage 3y agoI had that idea, but even with that, I'm still stuck. I get to a position with white king stuck behind the pawn on c3, with black pieces on a5, a6 and d6. Or I start with dxe, take the white rook with the pawn, and end up with black pawn on a1 and white bishop on e6. Another hint? EDIT Oh never mind, finally got there. Just a slight tweak to the move order, which took forever to discover.
