Thanks a lot, my friend, now I’m on level 11. I brute-forced level 10; I have no idea why it worked.

Why bother using Rot 13 to communicate vague information? May as well just speak in plain text.

I suppose so that others reading the comments don’t accidentally get answers spoiled for them

Some people prefer to solve everything without any hints at all, so I didn't want to spoil anything if they glance at the comments. You're right that I should have been more helpful with 8 and 9, logicalpencils has more details below.

What about level 7? Can you tell me where to put the 2 pieces? (In English)

12c21 days ago

Level 7: Lbhe ovfubc fgnegrq ba fdhner s1, vg zbirf qvntbanyyl, naq vg pna'g whzc bire bgure cvrprf.

I said in ENGLISH. Not "ngfrjhthhguyytjhythjhtyihjjhtiu" I don't understand gibberish.

OK, if you don't want to bother looking up a rot13 decoder then I'll add a bunch of line breaks to avoid Level 7 spoilers:

Your bishop is on a light-colored tile, so it must have started on tile f1. Make it impossible for the bishop to have moved from there.

can you give the actual answers? i am so lost

logicalpencils25 days ago(+1)

If you're stuck at level 7, the solution you've missed is probably double-checking the king.

Level 8 is about White to Move, ergo Black just moved — but there's only one black piece that could have just moved, make that case impossible.

Level 9, there's a certain place black's knight can't be while black is also in check.

Level 9: Abg whfg bar pregnva cynpr oynpx pna'g or, vg'f znal cynprf. Guvf bar vf nobhg gur purpxreobneq cnggrea naq ubj rnpu gvzr n xavtug zbirf, vg raqf ba n qvssrerag pbybe guna vg fgnegrq.
