Should maybe update the instructions to clarify that the dark-squared bishop is not constrained to dark squares.
- danbrooks 5mo agoThe instructions likely mean that the bishop itself is black, not the square that it is on.
- loganc2342 5mo agoIt's a black bishop, but not necessarily a dark-squared bishop. Both the black side and white side in a normal chess game get a dark-squared and a light-squared bishop, and I don't see anywhere that specifies which type this one is. It can be either one depending on where you place it.
- sltkr 5mo agoAlso if you care that much just mirror the solution horizontally or vertically, and now your bishop is on the white square instead.
- dwa3592 5mo agothat's exactly what happened to me. I ended up spending so much time thinking black bishop can only go to black squares. and agreed this is a bit ambiguous.
- maest 5mo agoYou can rotate any solution by 90 degrees, which would toggle the square colour of your bishop, so it doesn't ultimately matter.
- fsckboy 5mo ago>thinking black bishop can only go to black squares. and agreed this is a bit ambiguous sorry, "The task is to place four black queens and one black bishop on the chessboard" is not at all ambiguous.
