CHESS CHALLENGE






INTODUCTION Solo Puzzle placement game using a standard Chess Set. SETUP Place the eight black pawns on the board. Each Row and each column must contain exactly 1 pawn. One way to do this is to number the bottom of the pawns 1 to 8. Each number corresponds to a column. Next go row-by-row and Place 1 Randomly drawn pawn on each row at the column space as marked on the Pawn. (This should give several thousand non-repeating setups) SOLVE THE PUZZLE Use the 8 white back row men. (King, Queen, 2 Bishops, 2 Knights, 2 Rooks) Do not use any white pawns Place the 8 men on the board so that each black pawn would be Captured at least twice by white men. Note that white pieces can block each other. NOTE I have tried this twice and each time I was 1 capture short on 1 black pawn. I am assuming some combinations are solvable. Here is one of those tries: *-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 2-2-2-2-*-2-2-2 3-*-3-3-3-3-3-3 4-4-4-4-4-*-4-4 5-5-5-5-5-5-*-5 6-6-*-6-6-6-6-6 7-7-7-*-7-7-7-7 8-8-8-8-8-8-8-*
