Nice idea! Here is mine: https://www.solitairle.com/
I tried this, but it doesn’t seem to work in mobile.
And the first one presented to me, I’m pretty sure it is unsolvable. I can’t even find a valid first move.

#22Also, it wasn't immediately obvious that you only get the feedback after a valid checkmate.

It does work on mobile,but the instructions are cut off.
And it doesn't play like normal solitaire. You can move any card, no matter what's on top of it. That makes it much easier.

#24Sorry to say, but this is very unintuitive and hard.

#25I guess I was a bit flippant about my guesses and realized I made two guesses that were invalid because they weren't actually checkmates.
IMO those should count as guesses.
I felt like an imposter getting the praise "Wow, you're fast!" and "only two guesses!" when I'd actually submitted 4 guesses... just that two were so bad that the game rejected them outright. lol.

#26I really liked it. I found it to be quite difficult, but somehow managed to solve the problem in 4 tries. At first I didn't quite realize that you can put opposing pieces on the board so I think I wasted one or two turns. In general, love the concept and execution, but seems like it might have a pretty narrow audience of chess enthusiasts.

#27Incredible. Loved it!

#28Loved it! I'm so so at chess but was able to get it in 3 tries. Nice execution with the UI.

#29Fun puzzle! Fyi, does not play well with Brave - experimantal dark mode. But I think that's probably true of a lot of chess sites. I sort of feel like sites should have a way of flagging themselves as already in dark mode, so that they can be ignored by any dark mode extensions.
I think that this solution is a bit backwards. I think it should be on the extension to detect if the site is already "dark".

The misclick limit is really annoying on mobile where it's hard to precisely hit things.
