Cross the board without stepping on an attacked square.
Safe Passage
Safe Passage trains you to see which squares the enemy controls. Black pieces stand on the board and your knight must reach the marked square without ever landing on a square they attack. The attacked squares are not shown: you have to work them out. Each crossing you complete adds another black piece.
How to play
- Press Start. Tap a square to hop the knight there. Only knight moves count.
- Landing on a square a black piece attacks, or on a black piece, ends the run. The attacked squares are then shown.
- Reach the marked square to score a crossing. The next board has one more black piece, up to ten.
Questions
- Is there always a way through?
- Yes. Every board is checked before it is shown: a safe route exists and takes at least three moves. The page tells you how long the shortest one is.
- Why can I not capture the black pieces?
- The exercise is about seeing attacked squares, not about winning material. A black piece simply blocks its square.
- What does this train?
- Seeing at a glance which squares are covered. It is the skill that stops you putting a piece where it can be taken.
