Three modes

Who it is for

Beginners learn the movement of each piece by using it, without the pressure of a whole game, and build board awareness one piece at a time.

Experienced players get calculation speed and pattern recognition under constraints that do not occur in ordinary play — which is exactly why they are useful practice.
