Chess Master Cube - The Spinning Chess Puzzle Cube

Puzzle
How to get stronger at chess and have a laugh while you are at it.

I used to be the inventor of a chess puzzle game you all call Puzzle Rush. I lost that app because I submitted it to chess a competition that chess.com were judging and they copied it.

Okay that has gone I decided to maintain my copyright on Puzzle Rush on all its derivatives but not to pursue it legally but just on a moral basis since the paper trail is there for all to see if they want to check out how chess.com took my published app and made their clone and every other website followed suit including Lichess (they created Puzzle Storm a really good fork of the original chess puzzle app)

chess.com - Puzzle Rush
lichess.org - Puzzle Storm
chessbase.com - Tactics Fight
Play Magnus - Tactics Frenzy
blitztactics.com - countdown
chesspuzzle.net - Puzzle Climb
chesscup.org - Chess Puzzle Rush (a project I helped develop :) )

If you'd like to see what the original puzzle app chess.com saw and copied it is here

I went back to the drawing board and created a spinning chess cube that spins in 3D space and generates puzzles based on your performance. It is not only simultaneously processing 6 simultaneous puzzle boards on the six faces of the rotating and floating cube but it is also adding each response you make to a database and calculating the best series of puzzles to give you for you to improve. It also is working out your chess rating on average and rating per skill area. It is also working out your ranking per the global average and per you own personal performance. It also doing a chess trading meme game which involves each move you make being a trade on a global chess puzzle trading game. If I've lost you and you don't understand what I'm saying then you can just click the link and solve the puzzle and play the game on whatever level you want to enjoy, but the game gets deeper the more you want to discover the inner game within a game.

I'm waiting for Chess.com to copy this one. lol

Instructions - If the cube loads with pieces in their starting position then play any random move for the side closest to you to set the cube into puzzle mode, for one or up to all six sides. If the pieces are still on their starting squares click "show" then "next". If you are on mobile device use the point and click version (click from square and then to square to make a move) and on desktop/laptop you can use drag and drag version (click and drag pieces to destination square and drop to make a move). Good luck :)
You know which pieces to move because the board is always from the point of view of your side being the nearest to you and the numbering & lettering (indices) on the board confirms this.
