Location: India | Is the solution of Arrow Chess correct. I think the number 3 has a Bishop and 3 arrows pointing towards it..
Also, is it possible to explain Chessdoku even further. The digit 1 at the end of instuctions is not making much sense to me. Maybe I am being slow here!

About Chessdoku
Each chess piece can attack exactly two cells having 1 inside them.
Is that better?
For example : the knight attacks R3C5 and R6C2
the bishop attacks R1C1 and R2C4
so on...

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 |
