This game can be played in either training mode or play, and is designed to be entertaining, and/or help you develop your chess ckills and your brain. Only white pieces are used, they are played by the computer. You are a miner, and it's your job to place mines in the pieces route, which is the way that the pieces move according to the regular game of chess. The number of pieces differ from game to game, and each piece always travels the same route twice, the first time outlines the circut, and the second time is to prompt the player to mine the route, [which is darn nice of it, huh?] If the piece doesn't get undermined, it can change it's route no more than 3 times.You can only lay 1 mine per turn so which white piece is to move next makes a difference. There are 10 levels of difficulty.
