- jat255 10y agoMy guess would be black/white corresponds to lat/long? (or vice versa)
- siddarthd2919 10y agoor maybe position the white rooks and black rooks in their spots to remove those numbers from the board?
- caffeineninja 10y agoSomething to think about: chess notation is 1-8 and a-f., with a1 on the bottom left and h8 on the upper right. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/Scholars_mate_animation.gif https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/Scholars...

- typicalbender 10y agoDo the number of pawns correspond to the puzzle number?
- piker 10y agoLike scrabble with the piece values? e.g. white rooks are -14 and 10?
- dkonofalski 10y agoNote the pawns on the left hand side of each color, maybe? 3. 7. Maybe we add or subtract from 0 to get the numbers after the decimal?
