How to Play Chess Ranger

Move a single chess piece across the board to capture every target in the minimum number of moves, without revisiting squares.

The Rules

Move a single chess piece using legal chess moves to capture every target on the board
The piece moves according to its chess movement rules (queen, knight, bishop, etc.)
All targets must be captured — find the sequence that clears the board
In some variants, the piece cannot revisit squares — plan the route accordingly

Available in 3 sizes (5x5, 6x6, 8x8) and 3 difficulty levels (easy, normal, hard).

Move the piece using chess rules to capture every target on the board

Count the targets and mentally plan a route that visits all of them
Move the piece to a position where it can reach the next target
Identify targets that can only be reached from one direction and plan to capture those last
Trace the full capture sequence before committing to moves

If the piece is a knight, think in L-shapes — not all squares are reachable from all positions in one move

Targets in corners are hardest to reach for most pieces — include them in route planning first

If you get stuck, reverse your sequence — sometimes the last target should actually be captured first
