Ever thought learning how to play chess was a bit of an adventure? Well now it really is. Zugzwang gradually leads the player through the basic movements of all the pieces, how to setup the board, capturing, castling, check, checkmate and stalemate, the weird nature of pawns and even the obscure en passant rule.

At the same time you get to help two little Pawns, one White and one Black, to reach their ultimate ambitions. All in order for a chance to play in a real battle. Meet and talk to all the Pieces, both Black and White, and solve numerous chess-based puzzles along the way. Some serious but most just silly.
