How to Get the Clairvoyance Achievement
There used to be an easy way to get this achievement, but it doesn’t work anymore. Now there are two new ways to do it.
The first method is faster but relies on luck. Clear your game file in the Options menu and start a new game. Try to make the black rook jump over a black pawn to take your rook. If it works, you can accuse the troll of breaking a hidden rule.
The second method takes longer but works every time if you’re careful. Clear your game file and start a new game. Don’t move your king at all. Remove all black pieces except the king. Then wait for the black king to move more than one space. When it does, accuse the troll of breaking a hidden rule.
For both methods, remember to remove the black bishop early in the game. It can force you to move your king, which you don’t want to do.
The Rule 9 Strategy: For Those Who Feel Lucky
Rule 9 says that only the horse can jump over other pieces. You learn this rule when you move your horse for the first time, probably over your pawns. You can make the game so the troll is more likely to break this rule before you have to move your horses. Before turn 3, you should have a certain layout on the board. This makes the black rook want to jump over the black pawn to get your free rook. This doesn’t always happen, and you have to be lucky to see it. But it’s the quickest way to get this achievement when things go right.
The Rule 12 Strategy: For Consistency
This one takes longer but works every time if you’re careful. Rule 12 says the king can only move one square in any direction. You only learn this rule when your king moves for the first time. To get the achievement, kill all the black pieces without moving your king. When only the black king is left, move your pieces around (but not your king) until the black king jumps several squares at once. This usually happens within 10-20 moves. When it happens, tell the troll he broke the hidden Rule 12 and you’ll get the achievement. Be careful! If a black bishop attacks your king from behind, you’ll have to move him. To avoid this, remove the black bishop on the black squares as soon as possible, using your first revenge cheat.
If you don’t get the achievement, clear your game file and try again.
