Zen Chess Mate in Three: 100% Achievement Guide (All 100 Levels)

This guide will show you the required moves for all 100 levels in the official chess notation.

 

Chess Notation

For those who don’t know how to read the chess notation or just need a quick refresher:

When writing down a chess move you first specify the piece and then to which square it moves. If a piece is captured, the symbol “x” is added before the destination square.

The chess notation uses abbreviations for each piece, using capitalized letters:

K = King
Q = Queen
B = Bishop
N = Knight
R = Rook
For the Pawn the letter is left out.

Below is a reference to the square names:

When threatening a check, a “+” sign is added to the end of the notation. A checkmate is denoted with “#”.
