Holy... is that what you're supposed to do?!? No wonder the bar wasn't growing even though I jumped to every possible square -.-
Judging by this thread every single person did the same thing and became equally frustrated (myself included).
I think the instructions should be: Move to the square indicated below the board without moving to a square the queen can capture and without capturing the queen. Once accomplished a new square will be indicated. Repeat until all possible squares are done.

I mapped out the structure of the board as a graph of which squares you can get to from which other squares. It's surprisingly stringy without all the squares forbidden by the queen placement. https://i.imgur.com/8OuQcu8.png

They should highlight the target square in the board instead of only writing it in the "clock".
> should highlight the target square in the board instead of only writing it in the "clock". If it's a visualization exercise, they should not. Gaining intuition for notation is strangely enabling, particularly if you have an algebraic mind.

A short note about how the coordinates work would also be helpful, or just highlight the target square, because not everyone knows chess notation by heart. I tried two different interpretations (both wrong) before finally resolving to google for it.
They are written on the board..?
(I see now that the target-square notation is much more prominent if you stretch the window horizontally, but I habitually use portrait-mode windows, where it's very small.)

It's not meant to be easy, I'm 1800 bullet on lichess and struggling
