Dig the spooky title too. It would be fun to create a home page theme based on that title.

How is "The Chamber of Checkmates" spooky? Maybe its the creeps from harry potter and the chamber of secrets, thats actually the the inspiration which made me name this forum.
I guess we all have different word associations in our minds...for me the word chamber is creepy all by itself, you throw "of checkmates" in there and...

nice!
Was anyone able to solve puzzle 4 in 10 seconds on their first try?

Ten seconds is too long. That old girl has been trotted out so many times.....
To drd,
So puzzle 4 is being trotted out too many times? Can't argue with that, seen that mate FOREVER!
But based on the two second time it takes for the computer to move, ten seconds might be the best.
Is that your two second lag or the computer's? I can't imagine a computer program in this day and age that doesn't solve that in milliseconds.

The computers plays the move told by You to play and it takes milleseconds to determine, it takes two seconds to reach that position. If you play puzzles you see the computer takes at least take two seconds to reach its next position.
