I've been having fun building out a really simple chess learning app for my daughter (7). It started with just "maze like" puzzles [1] and I've added a few more.

This "radioactive pooping knights" idea came from an Irish primary school chess website [2]. Really simple idea, two knights moving around the board leaving poo behind... Don't be the one forced to step on it.

* best played with sound on.

*highly subjective, may not be better for you to play with sound at all ;)

p.s. Any "buy me a coffee" goes to my daughter. Annoyingly they only pay out once you get above $10 USD and I think it's currently sitting at 9.85 or something!

Amazing idea! I managed to win once by not trying to pressure the opponent but just looking for the most free to move sectors on the board.

omg the sound when you win is certainly not the reward I was hoping for

On brand though surely ;)

(What were you hoping for?, the other games have a more traditional winning melody ;)
