I got stuck on the chess role, it didn't accept my moves

Ive been trying for a while to get past it. Even putting all the moves into an online chess solver. Just said the moves are invalid

iirc there are multi syntaxes for writing down chess moves (some with very slight variations)

I think it's said algebraic? I know nothing about chess.

I finally managed to figure it out by trying out all combinations I could think of. Seems to me like this thing is too dumb to recognize all valid moves, as don't see why xc5 should be illegal.

~~Anyhow, this thing accepts knight on F4 as the correct answer, written as "Nf4+"~~

Of course it changes when you reload the darn page 🫠

Yeah it changes hahaha. It's annoying as fuck! I'm determined, moving to keep trying lol

Totally, yeah. It always manages to turn it up a notch just when I think it cannot possibly get more annoying.

SpoilerYou get a quicktime event a few steps after the chess puzzle, that "kills" you, if you're not fast enough. Had to start over. Haven't been motivated enough yet to get past the chess puzzle again.
