    Players criticize the game for its repetitive nature, describing it as a "grinding simulator" where the primary objective revolves around moving a chess piece from one point to another while navigating obstacles. This focus on grinding detracts from the overall enjoyment and strategic depth expected in a chess puzzle game.

    • “This 'chess' 'puzzle' game is just a grinding simulator; the entire idea is to move a chess piece from point A to point B while there are other pieces in your way.”
