    So, there's a problem : your two white bishops are on the same colour ?!?

    it is a chess puzzle, not related to an actual game. Imagine the second bishop was a transformed pawn :) Btw. didn't you wonder about the black pawn configuration? impossible I would say... but looks nice!

    Shout out to RankoSao. He is the first winner!

    Thanks! I stared at it for quite a while before I finally saw the answer. If I was playing that game, I would probably miss that.

    You people will get your code as soon as the game is in the store. It will start with 7 Episodes and about 20 Puzzles, and will be updated with an weekly episode and puzzles!


    ...

    ... hm, what about bleeper? you will get a code, too, because your last answer was correct! This is a special code for perseverance!

    Ah.. thanks! :) I just wasn't seeing that obvious move to d8. I'm so rusty.
