Rules
Knights Before Coffee
For your first four moves, only move knights — then win the game.
Horses first. Plans later.
A tiny opening ritual that is clearly wrong, but not catastrophic enough to ruin your afternoon.
Funny, but rule-clear.
Start this beginner side quest, play a real game, make your first four player moves with knights only, then win with the horse-first nonsense on the record.
- Your first four moves must all be knight moves.
- Do not move pawns, bishops, rooks, queen, or king before your fifth move.
- You must win the game.
- Standard chess only.
