Our take on SokoChess
The emphasis is on the chess-and-Sokoban combination, but the stated objective is narrower: push black pieces onto marked positions while avoiding captures. The page gives a level count and undo and skip options, yet offers little detail about how the additional puzzle elements change the boards.
What is SokoChess?
SokoChess is a puzzle game that combines chess pieces with Sokoban-style pushing.
In each level, the goal is to move the black pieces onto their designated positions. The black pieces move when they have an opportunity to capture one of the player's pieces, so piece placement matters while solving each board. The game includes 70 levels, unlimited undo actions, and an option to skip a level. It also introduces puzzle elements beyond standard chess. The core loop is to push opposing pieces toward their destinations while keeping enough of the player's own pieces to prevent them from capturing all of them.
