It was!? Wow! What a fool I feel.

In that case, I've edited the 'criticism' slightly in my 'mini review'.

Of course, some would argue that as such it was unfair for it required outside knowledge (ie. the basic rules of chess), but that's another discussion altogether.
Yeah, very true.

Either way, I still stand by the fact that a few (and only a few) of the puzzles in the game aren't 100% logical or fair. A very minor nitpick.

Another example, although it posed no problem for me, would be the goat. I'm sure you'll agree that puzzle caused problems for a lot of people because the solution was a bit obscure.
