Many Harry Potter fans will remember the Sorcerer’s Stone Magical Chess like one of the coolest magical things in the movie. After all the references we’ve seen in Hogwarts Legacy, it was impossible for this magical adaptation of the classic game not to be there… and it is, but not as you might imagine.
You can find up to three Magic Chess boards scattered in caves throughout the Hogwarts Legacy map. They are puzzles that we must solve to obtain a reward.
Unlike the test that Harry, Ron and Hermione must face, the boards we found have the game almost over. we just have to put the piece that touches us (after transforming an object in the room) to perform the checkmate. Unfortunately, there is no way to play full games of Wizarding Chess. It would have been a nice detail on the part of Avalanche Software.
If you want to see more Magic Chess, you can look for the small ones boards by Hogwarts, especially for the Common Rooms. Everyone repeats the famous move of mate in two steps with the queen. Back on topic: where can you find these Magic Chess boards? The three are in the southern area of the map.
If you don’t know how to play chess, you can’t solve them or you just don’t want to puzzle your mind, then you can take a look at the Lootward video. You can see the detailed location of the caves and how to solve the game. Good luck if you are going to try it on your own!
