Chess Puzzles How do I write my solution?
A chessboard is a grid meaning that every square has a name (i.e. e4, c6, d8, etc.). Pieces also have names. King=K, Queen=Q, Bishop=B, Knight=N, Rook=R, and pawn=a, b, c, etc. (depends on the letter of the file
it starts on).
A typical game might start out as 1. e4 (white's move) d5 (black's move) 2. exd5 ("x" stands for captures) Qxd5.
The puzzles are in order of Easy, Medium, and Hard.
