Chess Adventure Mode

Has anyone been able to beat the second to last level? I've been trying for a few days now and can't seem to beat the challenge. This AI is like always two steps ahead of me. grrrrrr

 

 

Edit: Nevermind. Just finally gave up and looked for a chess app that was able to help. Feel a little guilty "cheating" but I wanted to get it done.

Can I ask what chess app you used? Every one I find, the AI still beats me!

Yes! Please! Let us know which software you used to beat that level. I've tried 5 different programs and they all fail to beat the PS3 even when they are set to the most advanced difficulty.

Sorry guys for the late replies. Was never notified because I wasn't following the thread and neither of you quoted me so never saw this. 

 

I reviewed all my app downloads but nothing shows up. My browser history doesn't have anything that far ago. I checked my trophy checklist and didn't mention what app finally helped me get through it. 

 

All I can remember is using like 3 or 4 different ones at the same time. One of them had one small difference in the later stages and after making that one move, was able to beat those levels. I can redl the game after work and see if it comes back to me but I can't make any promises.

I can't believe how hard this actually is, even when using a chess solver. I'm on the third level of the second to last world for a week now and tried so many diffrent solvers, but none of them lead me to victory. Surely that means that these levels have been designed in such a way that the player can never win unless the AI makes a mistake somehow. If anyone is playing this and has more luck, I'd love to hear it!

I used ChessBot and adjusted the “Time to Think” slider to 5 seconds.

I never played this game, but NextChessMove works if its played on a standard board.

Its the most customisable chess move helper.

I have tried the level I am stuck on at least 10 times with this site, but still lose every time.
Even started the free trial for the PRO version on here ans still no luck

 

The game is normal chess, but instead of starting with a full board you basically start a game in progress (every level always has the same start layout) and with less remaining pieces than the AI. I need 3 more levels before I am done, but the one I am stuck on feels impossible. Tried 3 different websites so far but none of them can beat the Vita AI  

 

Hopefully I will have more luck with the website mentioned by @EqualityEarth, will try it tonight.

This game is incredibly hard and made me rage for days back then. It’s not like other chess games where you can just use a solver and easily win. One specific level makes you start midway through a game and you are at a HUGE disavantage. It doesn’t matter if you use the best chess engine in the world, you will lose. I eventually got it done using Shredder but the only reason I won is that after MANY games, the AI purposefully did ONE bad move so I could finally beat it. Even then, I had only 2 pieces left to checkmate and had to be really careful not to draw. You’ll basically have to keep trying until the game decides to make a mistake which seems to be basically < 1% odd. Other times it will always do the best possible move and you will either lose or draw

I just managed to complete the second to last level .

Tips:
I managed it using the ChessBot website and adjusted the “Time to Think” slider to 5 seconds.
As many have already mentioned, it's waiting for the game to make a mistake (in my case I didn't even see the error, but I realized I was cornering my opponent).
But a point that I think is interesting to highlight. I always tried again when I saw that I wasn't going to succeed, but I started to let the game beat me (when I saw that defeat was imminent) and started again, after a few games I managed to win.

I don't know if I can consider it a luck trophy, but rather the probability of winning, which I believe is less than 10%
