 I was playing a game 7th Guest and here are two chess specific puzzles from the game...

  Get the bishops to the other side in the 5x4 square without being threatened by the opposite color bishop bishop..not black white turn oriented

 Also put 8 queens on a board without them being threatened by one another

You need to get the white bishops to where the black bishops are and vice versa.

You have to stay in the 5x4 rectangles the bishops make

At no point in time can opposite color bishops threaten one another

The kings don't matter

You can do it online here if you want. Someone made another game based on it.

Hmmm, I remember that puzzle from 7th guest, but it was a real 5x4 board, no Kings, so, no King waiting moves either...

7th guest? I know of Majestic Chess which is a computergame loosely based on the board game, but what is 7th guest? A board game that gives you 8 Bishops?

i can't make a 5x4 board using this though...7th guest was a puzzle game for DOS, the 8 bishops was one of the puzzles in it

Nice zero!! To be honest I didn't think anyone would actually make a board with the solution on it! Awesome job!
