I think it might help to start with a certain strategy in mind. were you able to hone in on a strategy for that one yet? lmk if I can help
- samstave 3y agoNo help thanks - I've only just discovered this and I like it breaking off the slag from my rusty gears. This would make a really cool watch-face for idling.... EDit: on second thought... I cannot figure out how to kill the black pawn above me.. https://i.imgur.com/bGJUFu8.png https://i.imgur.com/bGJUFu8.png https://i.imgur.com/nOVjAYW.png https://i.imgur.com/nOVjAYW.png (A replay button would be great)
- ramly 3y agoHah yes it does look like an 'H'. If you prefer a much smaller but equally (or arguably more) challenging puzzle, try this one: https://echochess.com/game.html?game_mode=DAILY&level_type=EPIC&level_date=2024-03-21 https://echochess.com/game.html?game_mode=DAILY&level_type=E...
- samstave 3y agoThis has me stumped https://i.imgur.com/SVoXsjb.png https://i.imgur.com/SVoXsjb.png - Yes, on hint, plz --- I keep them both useful until I have to capture the queen - so one turns into the queen, and if I send a bishop to take the knight its stuck there because if I take the knight then with the queen - the queen becomes the knight... same with the pawn.
- ramly 3y agoYeah this puzzle is HARD. Sorry about that lol. Here's a hint: can you try to keep both your white pieces useful after going down from the top section? see if there's 2 bishops on a white square for example.
- ramly 3y agoSure thing, happy to help. *SPOILER ALERT* A good approach for clearing long columns of pawns in echo chess is usually to try to take the very first bottom pawn and to 'climb' up the column by successively taking one pawn at a time. If you can find a way to start from a pawn that's located as low as possible on a given column's side, it'll likely help in clearing a whole swatch of the board without leaving any extra pawns 'orphaned' on their own. Let me know if that makes sense and if you'd like me to provide anohter hint!
- ramly 3y ago(btw for replay button do you mean specifically a button that allows you to Undo a certain move, or did you mean the ability to rewatch a whole game's sequence of moves after it's done?)
- samstave 3y agoRewatch
- chedoku 3y agoThis is actually an interesting suggestion. Sometimes, things get so confusing that I wish I could remember how I ended up in that situation! :D
- samstave 3y agoYeah - if you cvan rewatch - then you can devise a better strategy -- or at least list the moves on the side? But still needs the first suggestion: "Thank you for subscribing to CHESS FACTS!" nd it plays a random chess trivia fact with each move - but they are fake: Did you know that the reason the King can only move one space? Because Henry the VIII had gout and couldt walk fast! The queen can move so many spaces because old castles had escape tunnels for the queen and her maides so they wouldnt get raped when the castle was stormed!
