Welcome to Chess Tiles! The goal of the game is to clear all the pieces, three layers in all. You can play it on your own or get some help from the brain! Each piece has rules about which locations can be used next. The number pieces reach locations exactly that number of squares away in any row, column, or diagonal. The chess pieces behave like in chess but, other than the knight, they must move all the way to the edge. There is one special piece that is discovered when you clear all pieces in the game past a layer. That special piece can reach any location on the board.
