Morphy Chess

Every move must capture — and you become the piece you take.

Capture a piece and you become it

One rule, and everything follows from it

There is no opponent and no clock. Just a board that has to be emptied, and the question of whether you can see the order that empties it.

1

Every move captures

No quiet moves. If a piece cannot take something, it cannot move at all.

2

You become what you take

Capture with the queen and you are a pawn. The piece you are changes with every move.

3

Clear the board

One piece left standing and the puzzle is solved. Strand a piece early and it never will be.

What's in it

Real chess moves

A knight still moves like a knight. What changes is the goal, not the rules.

Hundreds of levels

Grouped into packs that climb in difficulty and ease off when you need them to.

Pieces you have never played

The Strider leaps further than a knight. The Glider jumps the piece in front of it.

Skills for when it will not fall

Undo a move, reveal a hint, shield a mistake, or break the rule once.
