Chess game, En Passant "solution"
I have looked at many MANY videos and come to the conclusion that the puzzle is always randomized for most people. So I tracked this handy website down that gives you the solution:

https://nextchessmove.com/

Just place the pieces as they are in the game, then click next move, then move the pieces on the website and game. Then when the CPU moves a piece, move it on the website as well and click next move. Rinse and repeat. Got it first try.

Don't judge me, I absolutely suck at chess xD

No judging here, I basically save scummed until the AI started messing up more than I did.

Chess puzzle IS randomized for each new game, I believe. Mine have figures stacked in triangle at opposite table sides.

I ended up using that website to win too, but it took a few tries as my board was set up with the kings in the corner, 3 rooks, 3 knights and 7 pawns. I had no idea how people were using that website as it wouldn't let you add extra pieces, so I had to use the queen as one of the rooks and just swap their places and recalculate if the queen moved a way a rook couldn't, at one point it let me put an extra knight on the table and as soon as a rook on each side died, I swapped pieces and removed the queen, from there I was able to just focus on the moves and eventually won.

If that's the case, lose the match on purpose to have the board reset to all normal pieces and starting positions, and try from there. Hope it helps.

Did a similar thing, started with the red since the green starts first and copied the game's moves against a 2700 elo chess.com bot lol

It was down to my king, and his king and a rook and it wouldn't let me put myself in check and no one would make a move lol, I was hoping losing would reset but I literally couldn't lose lol.

That sounds like a bug. Guess they didn't think that far...

Does winning do anything or is it strictly for the achievement?

You get an inventory space upgrade.

How though, do you still need to find it somewhere or is it just added after the game?

A door opens near one end of the red side of the board after you win. It's in there with some other stuff.

It doesn't matter if I won playing green or red, right?

You're playing as Green IIRC.
