    *sigh* We have a problem here: The fundamental gameplay logic of the Zen Chess series necessarily breaks down as the # of moves increases. Zen Chess: Mate in 1? Brilliant. Strategic chess under clear, sensible constraints.ZC: Mate in 2? A bit spotty, some occasional brute-forcing, but mostly sensible if you play strategically according to the basic rules of chess. ...Mate in 3? Good luck getting anywhere on…

    Nice chess puzzle collection! I really liked many of them as a chess player. I could certainly play more of such games on Steam. It feels like winning back some dignity after seeing yet another set of utter crud we have there in plenty.
