Sound familiar?
That child who starts a game unsure and grows bolder with every piece they take. Each capture lifts their mood, so they look for swaps, and the more they take, the braver they play.
In Loftet, the pieces Felix takes really do make him stronger. That part is a Loftet rule, not a rule of chess. What it teaches your child is not to leave until tomorrow what can be done today: the earlier the attack starts, the smaller Felix is when it arrives.
Felix's signature moves
Three things to watch for in a game against Felix.
In every example, Felix plays the black pieces.
A slow start
He starts out weak. But already his first capture, even if it is a single pawn, makes him stronger.
Trade after trade
He is happy when you trade pieces with him. Taking a queen gives him the most power of any piece.
He saves up points
He levels up when he collects enough points. Not every capture makes him stronger, but every one is a small move toward his goal.
