Chess Housers is a puzzle game from Spain. The player guides a disembodied glove with the ARROW keys through an isometric maze with a chess board on the ground and many chess pieces placed. The glove has to push (ARROW keys + space bar) these pieces to clear its way to the exit. The pieces move in the same pattern they have in chess: pawns move forward, knights have an "L" shaped movement, etc. The gauntlet can be killed if it is in your way. The chess pieces are arranged in small rooms as a series of puzzles to be solved.
