[Anonymous]

I have been sitting here for hours and don't know where to even start. HELP!!! PM me if you can please.

[pizza]

Do you even know how to play chess?

[Nebro-Gubular SpisBoy]

I know how to play chess, and I know about coordinates and all that, but I can't figure it out.

[pizza]

move knights, a7 to c6...

[Salamanda79]

ok - i have the chess pieces moved - and i see what they give me, but for the life of me i don't know what it is! help please. ;p

[Nebro-Gubular SpisBoy]

If you got the pieces right it should be obvious what to type in.

[katefolsom]

I have the pieces. I've tried moving them from space to space as dictated, and also drawing lines (instead of just moving the piece) and neither has made much sense to me. I'm utterly confused.

[senork]

Not all of the knights move.

[katefolsom]

I know that. The ones that don't seem to make a shape. That shape also is a word commonly used in chess. I tried to type the word in and it isn't correct. I'm getting frustrated.

[Salamanda79]

ok - looked up every chess term the wonderful internet could provide - the image that is obvious to me apparently has nothing to do with any of those chess terms (unless it's a slang chess term which wouldn't be included in lists) AHHHHH!

[Moebius]

This is a puzzle you'll know pretty instantly if you have solved right. The shape is quite obvious. Just check your moves and make sure you moved the right pieces to the right places.

[dannawii]

this is a pretty easy puzzle but if u don't PLAY it u wont get it!

[AtkinsSJ]

Where the knights end-up is your only concern. katefolsom, you're making it too complex.

[PurpleKoopa]

Yes, move the pieces in order from top to bottom of the move list, then type what you see.

[m3gatl20n]

Its the easiest of the puzzles if you dont know chess notation just google it real quick...move pieces in order and its right their.

[moiraine]

Ok, I feel really really dumb - my DQ is probably a negative number! I can't seem to move the chess pieces!! Help!!

Thanks!

[turgid dahlia]

Moiraine:

Sadly you're going to have to either find a real chess set, or print out the picture, or copy it into Paint or something, as the pieces don't actually move on the puzzle page.

Thanks! I guess that means I have to print out "Bits and Pieces" and cut it into little squares......

:roll:

[numb3rs]

i have the image and i play chess ... i dont kno what it is , any place to find out???

[misterpink]

if you dont know what it is you dont have the right image... this is certain.

[blackmyth]

That's actually what I did, but it was excruciatingly hard since I dont have color ink at the moment.

[qsbride]

*** this was so simple it made my head hurt

[hermionebubble]

I understand what you are supposed to do to solve the puzzle but I have never understood chess, it's always confused me. I looked up a page on chess notation and used it as reference for where to put the pieces but the image I came up with doesn't make any sense. I'm not sure where my problem lies...

[the_crowbar]

You don't really need to know anything about Chess to solve this puzzle. You just need to look at the directions on the right side and move the pieces accordingly. The directions move the knights in their normal patterns in a Chess game.

[hermionebubble]

You don't really need to know anything about Chess to solve this puzzle. You just need to look at the directions on the right side and move the pieces accordingly. The directions move the knights in their normal patterns in a Chess game.Well, I tried to move them according to the directions but what came out didn't make any sense.

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it. I moved something wrong the last time I did it. Probably because I was half-awake when I did it...

[akeja]

Some puzzles are hard, but this one was an absolutely an amazing activity. Anyone agree?

[powermouse]

Some puzzles are hard, but this one was an absolutely an amazing activity. Anyone agree?Very clever. :)

For anyone still stumped on this one - don't look too hard at the picture that you get. I was trying so hard to figure out what the picture was that I missed what was right in front of me. In this puzzle, words are not the key. I hope that helps.

[coronagirl]

I can also think of one of the earlier puzzles that uses this very same concept for the answer....

[rlink55]

If anyone needs help, this is how the chessboard is...

8
7
6
5
4
3
2
1
a b c d e f g h

if you put squares and stuff in there, it works...

[dumbutt1]

I know how to play chess, and I know about coordinates and all that, but I can't figure it out.
(hint)Put the Knights at different places

[dumbutt1]

for those who might still not get it, its no more than a simple piece on the keyboard. meaning, don't waste time googling stuff when the answer is right under your fingers

[kh2ishere]

If it doesn't work the 1st time. Try again. I did it wrong the 1st time because I was in a bit of a rush.

[Lovemelikeihateyou]

I moved all the pieces, and i cant see what it is at all.... any more hints someone PM me :confused:

My best hint is to put it into paintshop on your computer...

Thanks! I thought the A-H was on the top.. I guess I know my problem, now! Off to solve it...

[WackieWatty]

With coordinates like these, you always go across and then upwards!;)

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I just solved the puzzle, courtesy of Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Paint...by Zinglon, isn't it creative!

[Brad]

Could Someone PM the answer to me
Thanks

[zhxl0903]

One hint: connect the finished dots!

[killerzzz]

"Stop trying to hit me, and HIT ME!"

That being said, follow my instructions, young Padawans, and you cannot go wrong:
1. You have to know how to move that chess peice. Not how to play chess, just that peice. Nothing else. So, go figure that out first.
2. Copy that board into Paint. Like, now. :D No need to print it and cut it and that stuff.
3. Use the "Select" tool, and move the peices that way, just following the instructions.
4. When your done, if you even START to think, you'll get lost. Don't let your answer get too wordy. Just type what you see.

You are just a click away from victory.
The above quote is from The Matrix. Its telling you to stop trying, and start doing.

Hope this helps without spoiling anything. ;)

Killerzzz

[loonyj]

can u plz pm the answer to me

[l156a21]

its something in a word

[gameboy]

what I did was draw the chess board on some graph paper & each piece was a circle. I moved the pieces by erasing the correct circle & re-drawing it in the correct place. I had the answer no time!
If U still need help with something, I suggest U look @ rlink55's post

[sonicchaos1993]

1. Move the pieces.
2. Type what you see. Don't overcomplicate it.

[grim3vil]

[evilclone]

[Max]

Looks like you've moved all the pieces and found something. But no, its not a house roof. Try joining the pieces...

[bensik2]
