I don't like it, either... But, you know, the water has to be there.
;-) At first the level was a lot harder, I tried for 2 hours but
wasn't dexterious/patient enough to solve it. Then I redesigned the
second room and made it a little easier, it took me only a few tries
to solve it... :-)

Hmm, you are right. I just immediately thought it's a knight because
I'm a chess player...

I had that idea, too, and created a few levels. Chessoban is much
harder and more interesting than Sokoban IMHO. Even with just one
st-chess, it can be hard for a beginner, and two of them can make
things really complicated.

Here are two nice examples:
N = st-chess
o = marble
x = button
