Incredible
This is one of the best pieces of training material I’ve consumed, surprisingly. Within three days, playing this alongside regular boring chess boosted my ELO from around 850 to 1050. If you’re at a beginner/intermediate level, this game actually creates a lot of teachable moments.
At higher levels, you have to approach this game with the goal of making something out of nothing. I believe this is something that is easily translatable to regular chess, and ever since playing a bit of ranked RBC at the 60-80 level I’ve noticed major improvements to my chess performance.
I went into this assuming it would be a fun mindless arcade game that I’d play when bored, but it has surprisingly become invaluable to my chess performance. Not a huge fan of the paywalls, but the devs gotta eat somehow. This game is up on Apple Arcade if you don’t want paywalls, which has a 3mo trial for new users, so if you can, give it a try. This game is seriously great if you enjoy chess and want to sharpen your skills.
