    Detective Chess

    Detective Chess is a logic puzzle that sounds simple enough, but can be quite challenging.  Five pieces are placed on a board – you are told what squares they are on, but not which one is on which square. You have to deduce the position of each from the number of times certain squares are attacked. There’s only one solution.
