Sweet Tooth 2 - 4 Match Badge
Make 100 “4 Match” combos this week!
Chess - Chess Champ Badge

This challenge has been decreased from 4,000 tokens to 1,000 tokens; while we are thankful for that, we are still dreading this challenge as folks who are (ahem) less than fanatic about chess in general. We have, however, heard of a great way to reduce the amount of time we’ll be spending playing our least-favorite game. Be warned: we haven’t tested it yet!
By moving the pieces from square to square in the following method while playing against a bot, you’ll win (and earn over 100 tokens):
Play as white (you can resign when you get the “black”/dark brown pieces):
1 Pe2-e4
2 Bf1-b5
3 Pd2-d4
4 g1-f3
5 Bc1-f4
6 Qd1-d2
7 Bf4xh6
8 Qd2xh6
9 f3-g5
10 Qh6-h7
11 Qh7-f7++
(P=Pawn, B=Bishop, Q=Queen — here’s a Chess piece reference)

For those of you who have completed all of the Mix-n-Matches before this, you’ll be completing your 8th album with the first badge in this list. Pogo hasn’t created the 8th ’secret’ badge that you are supposed to receive for finishing the Mix-n-Match album, so you won’t get it…yet. However, Pogo reps have assured us that you’ll be automatically awarded the badge once it’s been created.
