ChessHole is a minimalist chess-inspired puzzle game where every move destroys the square you leave behind. This is not normal chess. There is no checkmate, no opponent, and no opening theory. Instead, each chess piece becomes a movement tool in a disappearing-floor puzzle. Move the rook down a corridor, jump a knight over broken ground, preserve a bishop diagonal, and plan the final safe squares before the board collapses behind you. The goal is simple: clear every unoccupied tile without stranding your pieces. Features: - Hand-authored puzzle campaign - Daily puzzle with a shareable path card - Puzzle Club archive for past daily puzzles - Weekly puzzle packs for subscribers - Unlimited hints with Puzzle Club - King, rook, bishop, and knight movement personalities - Drag or tap pieces with fast undo and restart - Generated boards for fresh practice Every move costs a square. Spend the board wisely. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
