Last Piece
A chess solitaire. A few pieces on a small board; every move must be a capture. Leave one piece standing. A hundred and twenty positions, growing harder step by step.
How it works
- Every move is a capture
- You cannot simply move a piece. There are few moves available, and nearly every one closes something off for good.
- The capturing piece becomes the captured one
- A rook takes a knight, and a knight is what now stands there and moves as a knight from then on. That rule is why the order of captures matters more than it looks, and it is what turns a position into a puzzle.
- There is always a solution
- Positions are not drawn by hand — they are built backwards from the finish, so an unsolvable one cannot occur by construction. The difficulty is not whether a solution exists, but how many opening moves lead to a dead end.
- You do not need to know chess
- Knowing how five pieces move is enough, and the first level teaches that by playing itself through with you. No clock, no opponent, no rating.
- Nothing else
- No ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts, no network. The game knows nothing about you.
