A hundred chess levels, and the opponent gets stronger with every one of them. Click a piece and every move it may make lights up; click a lit square and the piece goes there.
It starts gently. On the first levels the opponent plays with a handicap — without a queen, without knights, or with nothing but a king and pawns — so a first game is winnable. From there the strength climbs level by level, from around 150 ELO to 1900, and every stage of ten levels brings a board of its own: pine, olive, walnut, marble, ink, emerald, plum, graphite, glass and obsidian.
There is help for every skill level. A hint button suggests a good move, your own pieces blink red when they are under attack, and any move can be taken back. Two dice decide who opens the game. Every game you win is kept as a board you can look at again, with your time and your stars.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
Leap 15.x:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15. for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0 if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
To install Budbrain's Chess, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install budbrainschess
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
