Zen Chess: Mate in One News

Can you play chess blindfolded? (another NEW game released!)

Hi all!

Thanks a lot for all the support you've given to the Zen Chess Series. Today, we are releasing a new game in the series.

For decades, professional chess players have been mesmerizing the world with their ability of playing chess blindfolded. In Zen Chess: Blindfold Masters you will be able to experience being one of them, by solving chess puzzles without seeing the pieces.

  • Simple to play: memorize the board presented to you in each level, hit 'play' to make the pieces invisible, and make your moves in the board;
  • Enjoy a minimalist, beautifully designed chess board and pieces;
  • Solve 150 chess puzzles, varying from Mate-in-One to Mate in-Four problems;
  • Simulate the incredible experience of playing chess blindfolded in a minimalist and meditative game experience.


Can you memorize each board and find the moves that solve the puzzle when the pieces are no longer visible?

Give it a try and show yourself your abilities go well beyond you have imagined.

150 new levels just added!

Howdy!

I just added 150 new levels for all of you amazing people who enjoy Zen Chess: Mate in One.

This is my "thank you" note to you.

I also fixed some duplicated levels, that I have not noticed before. I am aware of the fact that the game does not account for multiple solutions at the moment. I am planning to address that in the near future. In the meanwhile, just consider that as an opportunity to find multiple solutions and enhance your chess abilities.

Thanks again for all the support. It is wonderful to know there are so many of you interested in this meditative approach to chess.

I am also considering making a new game for Mate in Two. Is it something you would me interested? If so, please let me know.

Cheers!
