Someone took the trophy from the chess club room on Thursday.
Ana says“I was at board 3 all afternoon. My bishop jumped over his pawn to take his queen, and I won in 30 moves.”
How did the coach know Ana was lying?
Hint: Which piece can hop?
Answer
A bishop can't jump over other pieces.
In chess, only the knight can jump. A bishop moves diagonally and is blocked by anything in its path.
Did you get it?
Nice work. On to the next one.
Got you this time. Try the next one.
