Rocket Mode is [b]h a r d[/b]

[Biggie Bows]

Does anyone have any brainless tips I can use to beat this mode? I finally got through with taking his pieces only to be slapped in the face with not getting the achievement, realizing that I need to do it without cheating.

The things I've come up with are:
If you can attack a piece that slipped with a pawn, do it.
Push the two center pawns out first; he'll usually blunder a knight or two in the opening.
Develop your knights and/or flank pawns as soon as you can, as he will try to attack your rooks with the bishops outside the board and there's no other defense.
Develop your queen right after as he is known to jump his queen over all the pieces to take yours.

I would have said to take out the bishops first as they can be incredibly annoying, but that's nearly impossible to capture without cheating back which isn't allowed apparently.

Some tips I picked up are:
1) If you push your centre pawns, as you said, you can move your bishop to the square off the board where it will be able to take the opposite castle (EG: c1 to i7) the troll will usually take his own knight or pawn with the castle.

2) Anyone can move any queen, including you. After the troll moves his queen's bishop you can move her onto the gift left behind, taking her out.

3) If you take one of his rook pawns with your own rook before it can move, both rooks will become a castle, which is technically a two for one, but only if you feel comfortable playing with no rooks.

(Also some other tips if you can cheat)

1) Open your rules book before moving your first piece. It's usually impossible to call out cheating, but this helps to really turn the tides. Use your free cheats to either freely kill annoying pieces (Move them on top of a random gift of knowledge) or, if no gifts exist, move the one bishops on top of the other. As soon as one moves it will leave a gift, taking out the other.

2) If you find yourself in a situation where it's just the troll and a few of your pawns and you're struggling to take, he will eventually cheat, moving your piece being pretty common, so I leave that page open as using your free cheat to move him onto a gift is solid.

3) As much as I'm harping on and singing the praise of calling him out you only feasibly have time to call out 1 or 2 cheats,

Hope these help and you win soon!

Hi! I don't know if I am understanding you correctly, but there is no achievement for rocket mode. Only for rapid, blitz and bullet. For none of these it is required to refrain from cheating. If this somehow was the case for you, I would love to know so I can fix it!

once you get used to it and learnt a couple overpowered tatics, it becomes brianless and easy. I am confident to have >90% win rate on rocket mode.

the real problem with rocket mode is that you only have limited amount of cheats that you can use (about 4) before time runs out, so I don't do that anymore in speedrun mode. Also you have to very familiar with the rule pages.

check out this video of mine with timer on 3:10, I use these strategies a lot. I still made a lot of mistakes in terms of normal chess games which I absolutely suck at, but still managed to win.

Oh really? I just did the previous cheatless for practice and when I didn't see an achievement thought that it was because I used cheats instead of there wasn't an achievement for it. I don't think anything went wrong; I just made a series of moves that made me think there was an achievement when there wasn't.
