Hello guys! This is just a forum post that I created because I was bored. It is a chess riddle that I composed. Here it is:

You have 5 chess pieces. I will not tell you what they are. But, I will give you the squares to which they can move. Try to figure out the exact position that the pieces are with the clues below, then tell me if it is a win, draw, or loss for WHITE and how:

1. There is a piece that is on the file that starts with the beginning letter of a chess piece, and the rank that has the number that is the same number of different pieces in the game of chess. It has only 2 possible moves. It also is the color that does not start with the letter of its file.

2. There is a piece that is on one of the 4 central squares. It is the opposite color of the piece in Clue 1. It can move to these squares: h8, b2, c5, but not these squares: d6, a7, h6.

3. There is a piece that can attack/protect both pieces mentioned above in one move; but it can only do so by moving diagonally IF the piece in clue 5 moves away from the defense of this square. It is not on the same file as the square with which it can attack/protect both pieces, but it is on a file which is the same file that we can find the piece in Clue 1. The color of this piece is black.

4. There is a piece which only has 3 moves. It is attacked by a piece.

5. There is a piece which is on the same file as the piece mentioned in Clue 2. It can also attack that piece in 1 move OR protect the piece mentioned in Clue 1 in 1 move. The color of this piece is the opposite color of the majority color of the pieces mentioned so far.

Good Luck! Also, it is okay to post the answer in the comments.
