    How to unlock Sage

    From the Main Menu, select Single Player > Minigames. Here you will need to complete all the Standard Puzzles and Hard Puzzles.

    Standard puzzles are mainly chess endgames that require you to checkmate the opponent with a specific combination of pieces within a limited number of moves. Most of these are easy and just require common sense. The only ones that might pose a challenge are Checkmating with 2 Bishops, and Checkmating with Knight & Bishop. The key to solving these 2 is to force the opposing King into a corner and keep him there. Positioning your Bishop in the middle of the board while backed by your King is the first step you need to do. You can learn more by following the links and videos below:

    Hard puzzles are mainly classic chess puzzles that have arisen throughout chess history and some require thinking out of the box to solve. I use algebraic notations for the solutions to these puzzles to indicate YOUR moves. (K = King, Q = Queen, N = Knight, B = Bishop, R = Rook, P = Pawn. If there is more than one of the same piece on the board, the starting position is indicated first. Ne4-c5 means Knight on e4 to c5)
