BLOOD ON THE HEAVY METAL CHESS BOARD BOTHMCB is a chess‑inspired puzzle where you decide how many moves it takes to recreate a 3×3 objective. Study the pattern, predict your moves, and transform your board using rotations, mirrors, and careful planning. The fewer tricks you rely on, the higher your final rank. In BOTHMCB you get to: • Analyze a 3×3 objective and predict your move count • Test your memory and precision as you recreate the pattern • Rotate, mirror, or replace objectives to shape each challenge • Push for higher ranks through efficiency and smart planning • Track your stats, streaks, and personal bests • Earn coins and unlock rewards in the Infernal Vault • Play with a heavy‑metal soundtrack and offline support Risk and Reward Running out of moves doesn’t always end your run. You can accept an Infernal Pact to continue your streak at the cost of a lower final rank, or spend coins earned through play (or optional rewarded ads) to buy reserve moves. Can you reach the highest rank without making a deal with Hell?
