How Chess Peace Works

Choose a challenge and place the starting pieces as shown. Then fit the remaining puzzle pieces, each carrying a king, queen, rook, bishop or knight, onto the 5 x 5 board. Every piece follows its normal chess movement, so you need to spot every line of attack before you commit. Each challenge has only one correct solution.

Tips for Solving

Start by placing the pieces with the longest reach, such as the queen, rook and bishop, as they limit the board the most. Knights are often best saved until the end, since their jumps are easy to overlook. Working through the levels in order steadily builds your chess intuition.
