Chain Capture: a chess saga

Stars come from restraint. A chain is a run of captures made by the same piece: the fewer times you hand over to another piece, the more stars you keep. Par is on screen from the first move, so you always know what a clean solve looks like.

100 LEVELS, FIVE CHAPTERS
The pawn opens, the queen arrives at 16, the King at 31, walls at 46, and from 61 the board opens up to 8×8. Difficulty was tuned by measurement, not by feel, and every level is verified to have a solution.

DAILY CHALLENGE
One board, the same for everyone, a new one every day. Solve it and your streak grows.

ENDLESS
Unlocks after level 100. Boards keep coming until one beats you.

Undo and restart cost nothing and are always there. If you run out of captures, the game tells you instead of letting you stare at the board.
