SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

Test your brain and your brawn in the toughest chess game ever made! Play against the Stockfish chess engine to build your path and climb upward to claim the crown, but be careful! One small blunder and you risk losing your progress. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, but who will take it?

<h2 class="bb_tag" > Gameplay</h2>Who Takes The Crown? is about controlling a little pawn and getting to the top of each level to claim your crown. Play through various chess games to build your platforms and climb higher and higher. Be careful though, much like the game of chess, the movement of your pawn requires timing and patience. One wrong maneuver could send you tumbling back down to the bottom of the level and start you over. <video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline crossorigin="anonymous" poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2550290/extras/212fbaa91d3d8bfcc4580544cc5590c9.poster.avif?t=1751223199" width=616 height=353 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2550290/extras/212fbaa91d3d8bfcc4580544cc5590c9.webm?t=1751223199" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"></video>It's not only about your platforming skill either.
