Can you leave just one man standing?
Simple to learn, impossible to master, addictively fun - Solitaire Chess by ThinkFun is a new logic puzzle based on the rules of Chess. For chess newbies and experts alike, Solitaire Chess can be played quickly as every move must be a capture. Early challenges may seem easy, but soon you’ll find yourself in deeper waters, pushing your mind and thinking hard about your moves to try and solve each puzzle.
HOW TO PLAY:
Each challenge begins with a selection of chess pieces on a 4x4 game board. Your goal is to capture the pieces one by one until there’s only one left.
Every move must be a capture, so plan your moves wisely or you risk leaving pieces stranded!
Don't worry if you're not familiar with Chess. Hold any piece in the air to see its name and all possible moves. Within a few challenges, you'll be familiar with every piece – making this a great way to get familiar with the pieces and movement rules of Chess.
Solitaire Chess includes UNDO and RESET buttons, so don't be nervous about experimenting in the game. There’s even a HINT button for when you get in a real bind.
GAME FEATURES:
- 400 Challenges, 100 at each difficulty level
- Four difficulty levels: EASY, MEDIUM, HARD, EXPERT
- Challenge Scorecard to keep track of your wins
- Save multiple games in progress
- Hint/Reset/Undo buttons to help you figure out each puzzle
- Solve button to see how it’s done

I want a refund. Game could be fun, but "the black screen issue" makes it frustratingly unplayable. This issue has existed since 2013. Google Play should pull the paid version until it gets fixed.

Great game and concept; however, minor annoyances are frustrating. Sometimes the "Reset" button is non-functional. Other times it works, but then the game does not allow legitimate moves, like a rook taking a queen (Medium Puzzle #95, for instance - left rook is frozen). This puzzle is only "solvable" by letting the hint button make the moves.

Either the game makers fixed the black screen issue or Ice Cream Sandwich fixed it. Not sure. I gave up on this game for so long. Happy to be playing again... Even if it's incredibly dated and you have to press Home button to quit like some iPhone user.

Game has crashed a few times on my tablet. I wish I could synchronise progress on both my devices but, other than that it is a great game.

Bought this after seeing it at the stores. Love the game but the resolution doesn't fit my whole screen. Games do not load. They only flicker when I press next. I'm using the note4. Please fix. Does also not work at all on galaxy tab s2.

Great game (4-5) on my old device (RAZR Maxx); however, on my new S5, boards and pieces briefly flash on the screen then go blank.

It was clear to me I wasted my money withing two minutes. It is twitchy to say the least. If a high school kid made it then good job. Otherwise you should be ashamed of the quality. Enjoy my two bucks.

I've done 3/4 of the challenges. The difficulty ratings were inconsistent (some of the easy levels were more difficult than some of the hard levels), but the idea is superb. Easy to pick up, difficult to put down.... More puzzles, please!

The concept is simple, but the challenge is amazingly engrossing. It's fun, easy to learn, and the difficulty ramps up very well. All in all, a wonderful, flawless game.

Now completely broken & apparently unmaintained. Basic refresh bugs, blank play screens, unstable. Unplayable, after I paid money for it.
