Welcome to the world of chess detective work, where every case is like a game of chess that’s already been played – and spoiler alert: it didn’t end well! Picture this: a chess game has just ended, and all you have left is the final position, which is as helpful as a chocolate teapot. Your mission? To rewind time like a bad movie and put everything back to how it was before the poor decisions were made.
You'll be taking a trip down memory lane, returning captured pieces (like a chessy game of hide and seek), undoing castling (because who needs a king in a castle anyway?), and reversing en passant like it’s a dance move gone wrong. You’ll learn these backward maneuvers in 8 bite-sized lessons that are easier than remembering where you left your keys!
But wait, there’s more! Once you're a certified reverse chess master, you can dive into 55 meticulously crafted cases, ranging from “Oops, I did it again” blunders to “How did that happen?” opening traps. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, a brand new case drops every day straight from the notorious Lichess games – because who doesn’t love a little chess drama? Get ready to turn that chessboard upside down and put the pieces back together like a puzzle that’s been through the washing machine!
Tap or click a piece, then tap the square it came from - or drag it back. Unwind the game to the starting position in exactly the given number of moves. Take back undoes your last move, Start over resets the case, Hint shows which piece moved last.
