MineChess is a chess puzzle game. Each level gives you a set of white pieces and a move limit. Your goal is to checkmate the black king before your moves run out.

You control pieces like the queen, rook, bishop, and knight. The black king is defended by its own pieces that move automatically after each of your turns. You need to plan ahead, anticipate the AI's responses, and find the right sequence of moves to deliver checkmate.

The game has 25 levels split across 5 chapters. Chapter 1 introduces basic one-move checkmates with simple piece setups. By Chapter 5, you're working with multiple pieces in tighter positions where only one sequence of moves leads to checkmate.

Each level awards up to 3 crowns depending on how many moves you used. Solving a puzzle in the fewest possible moves gives you all 3. Using more moves still clears the level, but with fewer crowns. Your total crown count is tracked across all levels.

If you're stuck on a level, you can use a hint to see the best move. Hints are limited and are awarded as you collect crowns, so using them is a trade-off.

Levels can be replayed at any time to improve your crown count. Each chapter unlocks sequentially as you complete the previous one.
