Chess Puzzle of the day for Beginners and Parents – head banger!

Queen Mapping and Planning – mapping all pawn captures.

This puzzle involves the Queen. The Queen as you all know by now is able to move like a Rook and like a Bishop – that means along Ranks, Files and Diagonals.

Here the goal is to capture all the pawns in each move that the queen is undertaking.

The aim is to finish capturing all the pawns by the queen.

Spoiler: This one will be very addictive. Don’t tell me you were not warned – it is somewhat difficult if you are not focused!

The advantages of this solving these sort of mind bending puzzles are:

• It helps students to plan better and logically.
• improves their focus and nurtures their ability to understand theory.
• Chess calls for several fairly complicated calculations over its 64-square board. This is a precursor to that.
• It develops ‘reverse thinking’ abilities and visualizations, besides encouraging the students the importance of thinking ahead
