- Adam 🤓1:20 · over 2 years agoIs this supposed to have a meta entry field?
- Evan Shapiro constructor · over 2 years agoIt does now! Thank you :)
- kurtalert 🤓1:00 · over 2 years agoNot sure I understand any/all of the moves leading up to it- but fortunately the last special clue, involving a black rook and a white king, seems like it's pointing at a checkmate win for black... so, black it is!
- Evan Shapiro constructor · over 2 years agoNot quite sure what you mean! If you didn't get it, the grid is supposed to represent the chessboard as a whole, not separate moves. (Also -- Idk whether the board is a likely/possible configuration, if that's what you mean :) )
- kurtalert 🤓1:00 · over 2 years agoAh-ha! LOL. Yeah- I completely missed that part of the puzzle. I thought each clue was telegraphing a particular move somehow (like- how you see chess moves notated - Kd2 f3, Rxg5 and such) and I was supposed to translate that into a winner/loser. Now, I see that I sort-of arrived at the same conclusion- the Black Rook being on the same row as the White King- I figured the involvement of those two like that meant clearly that Black won- if the last move of a Chess game involved the White King and a Black Rook, obviously Black won. And, he did, but only because White is mated due to the other Black Rook. I got lucky!
