Ninja levelSound familiar?
That child who feels safer copying than choosing. When they are not sure what to play, they do what the other player just did, and for a while it seems to work.
Heksa is very sure of herself while the copying lasts. The fun against her is fooling her: your child learns to lure her into copying a move she should not, and then to win the piece, or the game, with the tactic she walked into.
Heksa's signature moves
Three things to watch for in a game against Heksa.
In every example, Heksa plays the black pieces.
The mirror
From her first move, she copies yours on her side of the board, even a king walk nobody would choose.
The copy that costs
She even copies a capture that only works for you, and pays for it.
When the mirror breaks
Give her a move she cannot copy, like a check, and the mirror breaks. Then she has no plan of her own.
