Wow, last week was a blast! Thank you for all the great ratings and the game follows. I really enjoy it.

I have just uploaded an updated version of You Lose Chess:

• A nasty bug made it possible to take turns for black, which lead to confusion (even more than intended) and worse, game crashes. Apparently the black king has found a way to trick even me. Now it’s fixed.

• Some players weren’t reading the hint at the beginning of level 1 and were clueless about how to win. Hints and instructions are now more obvious.

• The black king has learned some new punch lines. They seem to be even meaner than before.

Q & A
I have already played through the game. Are the changes considerable enough to justify a replay?
Probably not. But thanks for playing!

I haven’t beaten the black king even once and don’t have a clue on how to do it. Should I try again with the new version?
Definitely! There’s more to this game than you think and now you should be able to find out about it.

Are you an e4 or d4 player?
I mostly start with ->d8.
