Better then Chess Valley 1 as here you can mark squares that are under attack. But why does a chess piece on a pedestal (here - pawn) is a threat to your king? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3475559728 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3475559708

I mean, it's interesting. I didn't really enjoy it though. I think it's a polish issue.

Levels are longer than first game which is nice. Adds in a new feature which kind of ruins the experience though, where you can mark off all the dangerous spots. Really defeats the point imo. Still, if you're a chess lover enjoy it over lunch. A fun little experience.

Better than the first version of this game. Extended board, ability to mark the board, different view points, ability to move the camera up and down the board prior to moving your piece. Overall pretty good.
