The story behind it

In a normal game you choose whether to capture. Here you have no choice — every single move must take a piece — and the puzzle is the ORDER. Capture in the wrong order and two pieces are left staring at each other with nothing to take.

How to play

  1. Tap a piece, then tap the piece it captures.
  2. Pieces move as they do in chess. The pawn captures one step diagonally up.
  3. Stuck? Step back, or ask for a hint.

What it teaches

Sequencing, and solving a problem by thinking from the end backwards.

The story to tell first

In a normal game you choose whether to capture. Here you have no choice — every single move must take a piece — and the puzzle is the ORDER. Capture in the wrong order and two pieces are left staring at each other with nothing to take.

Three questions to ask

  • Which piece do you think survives? How could you tell before moving?
  • What did the last capture have to be?
  • Why does the order matter when the same pieces are taken either way?

Without a screen

Set up four pieces on a corner of a real board so that the puzzle works. Swap boards with a partner and solve theirs.
