Hello, Zen Chess Club. Added you to discuss the possibility to review your game to my curator group "Reviews by Paho". :)

Level 13 not working properly, you can move any piece for first move (which shouldn't happen) but black won't move in return, sometimes no space is highlighted and you can't move at all.

Puzzle 13 is still not working and this problem makes the game unplayable!!!

Hi Carl and Gingergal! Thanks for letting us know about this issue. We're working on that and hopefully will have it updated very soon. We're a very small team, thanks for understanding :)

It's been 3 weeks, any news on how much longer it might be, days weeks? Or was it so catastrophic you just don't know?

We'll be updating in a few more weeks! Together with the launch of 2 new tittles in the Zen Chess series we've been working on (not "mate in X" puzzles this time). Stay tuned.

ok thanks for the news good to know you still are working on it and look forward to the new games.

Hi Folks! I have some good news!

First of all, I owe all of you an apology. It took me way longer than I expected and a couple of personal problems kept me away from gamedev for a while. It has nothing to do with you guys and I hope you accept my sincere apologies.

Secondly, after some extensive playtesting I believe the game is good to be published now. I played it for 4 hours today and everything seems correct. I couldn't detect any bugs.

After all those issues, I decided to ADD 50 new levels to the game (now the total is 100 - twice the number we had before). I worked a lot to make sure all 100 levels has just ONE mate-in-four solution (several levels allow for checkmate in 5 or more moves... but the challenge, of course, is to find the unique mate in four solution).

The new update will be live in the following days!

[Carl Andre]

thank you for explanation..

[Zen Chess Club]

The new update is currently live! You can download it now and play though the 100 levels. I couldn't detect any bugs in almost 10 hours of playtesting... so, please, if you find anything post it here specifying the level and what exactly happened.

And thanks again for all the support! Hope you enjoy :)

For some reason, you can select any piece and move it any where on the board which is wrong. Also when you select a piece it is not hi lighted, so some times you dont realize the piece is selected. Also... If you click twice on the same piece the game see this as an error and resets the board. Even if you click on the opposing players pieces the game resets the board. So yes there are a few programming errors in your code you need to fix.

Thank you.

Level 13 is still broken. A black pawn moves completely wrong on third move and if the white pawn that is taken were to stay in its new spot, then the king should be in checkmate. I have attached a video to better illustrate the issue. At this time the level seems to be impossible in four moves.

Actually it's working. The last move should be with Queen, b7a6.
And if you thinking that the black pawn move was odd - this move is called "en passant" (it's an really odd and kinda rarely used rule, but you should check it in wikipedia)
