Location: India | I had a question on Hitori Chess.... in the example each chess piece attacks one number... however, can a piece attack 2 numbers in one line as in the example for Hidden Words... I am attaching an image of an alternate solution for Hitori chess.... Im not worried abt the dual solution of hitori chess in the example but want to confirm if the rule of hidden words (where the bishop attacks 2 Es in one line ) is also applicable in Hitori Chess.

Rishi In the attachment, one of the 4s in row3 has to be painted black. So it is not a valid solution. |

As per rules, the example has more than one solution.
Please note that some of the examples are just for illustration purpose, and may not be valid puzzles by themselves. (Nikola mentioned this in IB ) |

Yes..........I think so.........because the instruction
each chess piece attacks exactly one ship of every kind
It dosent talk about the number of ship segments....... |

Now this was a completely new and refreshing set of puzzles :)
Though I am familiar with chess but never ever imagined an influx of chess into our normal day to day puzzles....
Great set Nikola... though not much to look forward to from my results point of view...

Location: France | Great test !
Unfortunately I entered coordinates in alphabetical order instead of top to bottom for chess battleships and hidden words...
(I think the order required is not specified for hidden words.)
thanks for the puzzles |

Location: Thailand | Hi
During the last 3 minutes, I solved the Filomino Chess...
And when I clicked submission nothing happened.
I rated all the puzzles and re-submit each answer, still, nothing happened.
When the time was up, the page froze for the next hour and a half.
Now, I looked at the results to find that my Filomino-Chess and puzzle ratings weren't taken into account.
Could you somehow check this for me?
I sent you my answer to Filomino Chess, if its right then maybe is it possible to compensate for the frozen webpage?
Great puzzles.
Thanks for the great hosting. |

Location: Austria | Thanks for the beautiful puzzles.
1 minute before the end I finished a puzzle (on which I was working for 15 minutes), made some basic checks about the correctness and entered the solution code. Since I had 20 seconds to spare I continued checking the puzzle, and found one mistake! I needed exactly 17 seconds to correct the puzzle and the solution code. Thus I used the time perfectly with 3 seconds to spare. :-)
Of course I left some puzzles untouched (although not too many), but I could correctly solve all the puzzles I tried. Perfect test and good score for me!

Location: United States | I entered the weekend not expecting to find time to do this set, but I'm glad I carved out a chunk of this morning to do it. Really tremendous set of puzzles. Some of the older known variations (Chess Battleships, for example) solved very nicely while the new additions like Tapa and Fillomino were phenomenal. I simply wish I didn't make my classic Tapa error (thinking I was done before the whole thing was connected) on the first go around. Thanks Nikola!
Edit: Oh, and on a general site comment, the "discuss" button at the top of the results page should open in a new tab (if possible) and not load directly on the same page. At least if you are enforcing the 30 minutes penalty. Since now I have to wait 30 minutes to look back at the results again although I got a quick glance.
