Field notes
The opening setup is not fixed: players can reposition pieces across their half of the board, with the page describing a 60-second clock before play begins. A daily one-shot challenge appears on the homepage alongside an attempt count and solve rate. The project identifies itself as an indie passion project and links to field-guide pieces on opening tactics and defending the king.
