Great game

Actually a fun game where I have to figure out how to play chest and it’s not like those other games where ads pop up every five seconds. Been playing it for an hour haven’t had an ad and I’m starting to learn how to play chest great game developers 🥸👍

Great Puzzler

This game is great, I highly recommend playing it if you like completing chess puzzles.

I have however completed all 1010 levels, is it possible more could be added?

It would also be great if notifications were triggered when an event started, so I can complete the ones I haven’t done.
