    The key takeaways are that Solitaire Chess is a single-player logic puzzle designed to exercise the brain where the goal is to capture all the chess pieces except one using the standard chess piece movements.

    The goal of the game is to capture all the chess pieces on the challenge card except for one piece.

    The differences between Solitaire Chess and standard chess are that Solitaire Chess is single-player, every move must result in a capture, pawns can be placed anywhere, pawns are not promoted, there is no check rule for the king, and the king will always be the last piece remaining.

    Solitaire Chess Compared to Standard Chess:

    Chess Pieces:

    Solitaire Chess is a single-player logic puzzle, not a chess game. The


    basic piece movements are the same as with standard chess but there
    are some key differences between the two games:
    The differences are:
    S olitaire Chess is a single-player game; all the pieces are
    the same color.
    Every move you make must result in a capture.
    P awns can be placed anywhere on the board. They may only
    move up the board by diagonally capturing another piece.

    King

    Queen

    Bishop

    Knight

    Rook

    Pawn

    P awns are not promoted when they reach the top rank
    (top row).
    There is no check rule for the King.
    B y our design, every challenge that uses a King will end with
    the King as the last remaining piece.
    (This is not a rule; it is a hint for you.)

    About the Inventor:


    Solitaire Chess was invented by Vesa Timonen, a software engineer
    living in Finland. His interests include puzzles, magic, programming
    and woodworking. This is Vesas second ThinkFun product; the first
    being the Aha Brainteaser, Rec-Tangle.

    Movement Rules:
    King captures after moving exactly one
    square horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

    Bishops capture after moving across any


    number of vacant squares diagonally.

    The challenges are designed such that in the


    solution the King will never be captured.

    Bishops always remain on their original


    square color.

    Queen captures after moving across


    any number of vacant squares
    horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

    Rooks capture after moving across


    any number of vacant squares
    vertically or horizontally.

    Knights capture after moving in an L (or


    inverted L) with two steps in one direction, a
    90 turn and one step in the new direction.

    Pawns capture after moving one


    square diagonally upward.

    Knights are the only pieces that can jump over


    other pieces. They capture only the piece that
    occupied the final square.
