Quiz: e2-e4

diego · 05-12-2012, 06:06 AM

Yeah - chess puzzles, along with mazes and sliders, are not the most popular thing. But to celebrate the start of the World Championship, here's the collection of black/white boards and pieces.

Rules: Two guesses per round.

Don't you read posts around here?

Fien · 05-12-2012, 08:44 AM

For Pete's sake, zobraks, that's 8 = eight more days! When was the last time a quiz took 8 - eight(!) days to finish?

zobraks · 05-12-2012, 08:48 AM

It's not about 8 days, it's about another quiz (with pictures) going down the drain.
