Played on Steam Deck. Not recommended. This isn't chess puzzles like the other Zen Chess games, but just recreating the final moves of previously played GM matches. It's random too, sometimes you have two moves and will actually play checkmate because that's what happened in the match, but most of the time it is last 1-10 moves before a resignation, and even the resignation happens several moves out from checkmate and you don't even get to play it out. I play 4 moves to see the stage complete with the message "Bent Larsen resigns (Mate in 6 moves) or play 1 move and see "Pal Petran resigns (Mate in 8 moves)".... There are even two stages with some unnecessary moves thrown in probably just because that's how the match played out in real life, is this supposed to be like a walk down memory lane or something?

The puzzles would be fine if they correctly followed the actual games, but there are too many broken puzzles with illegal moves. Not worth the time, and definitely don't spend any money on it.
