    Ive been trying for a while to get past it. Even putting all the moves into an online chess solver. Just said the moves are invalid

      iirc there are multi syntaxes for writing down chess moves (some with very slight variations)

      I finally managed to figure it out by trying out all combinations I could think of. Seems to me like this thing is too dumb to recognize all valid moves, as don’t see why xc5 should be illegal.

      Anyhow, this thing accepts knight on F4 as the correct answer, written as “Nf4+”

      Of course it changes when you reload the darn page 🫠

          Totally, yeah. It always manages to turn it up a notch just when I think it cannot possibly get more annoying.

          Spoiler

          You get a quicktime event a few steps after the chess puzzle, that “kills” you, if you’re not fast enough. Had to start over. Haven’t been motivated enough yet to get past the chess puzzle again.
