HOW IT WORKS

One piece. One capture at a time.

  1. Choose a piece. You'll be given a random challenge from its collection.
  2. Find the route. Move only your highlighted piece. Every move must capture a target.
  3. Clear the board. If you get stuck, undo a capture, restart or use a hint.

These are movement and visualisation exercises, not complete chess games. Targets stay still and do not give check; castling, en passant and promotion are not part of Capture Trail.
