| | Chess problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Shortest proof games - the solver must construct a game, starting from the normal initial position in chess, which ends with the position in a given diagram. | | | That is to say, the diagram must be reachable via a legal chess game which begins from the standard opening position. | | | In addition, there is the study, in which the stipulation is that white to play must win or draw. |

| | A typical chess problem may show a position with a few pieces on a chessboard diagram and the instructions are to find the moves that will enable white (or black) to win in a specific number of moves (usually two or three). | | | Considering that there can be that much of a challenge in a problem where there are only a few pieces on the board, the solver knows who will win and how many moves it will take, think of the real challenge of the game of chess. | | | Each player is confronted with a chess problem after every move. |

| | Additionally, the chess board contents posed in an orthodox problem must be reachable in a legal chess game (although such a game need not make sense, legality is sufficient). | | | The former is used to denote complete games, while the latter two denote game or problem positions. | | | (in all recent versions) is not only a good chess playing program, but also a very excellent mate searcher. |

| | Math, we are investigating the number of squares on a chess board "controlled" by the Queen at any one position, i.e., where she could move (anywhere in a straight line). | | | On a standard chess board we found a pattern using "concentric squares" or "rings" ---------------------------------------- | | | Indeed, the number of squares the queen controls does form a pattern of "concentric squares." I'm not quite sure what you are asking us for--did you want a formula in which you could plug in the coordinates of the queen to get the number of squares she controls? |

| | Problem C: Toroidal Chess Queens' Problem |
| | The toroidal M×N chess board is obtained from the usual M×N one in the same way as one obtains a torus from rectangle: by gluing together the upper side with the lower one and the left side with the right one. | | | In particular, the queen attacks any figure which is situated in the same row, column or diagonal. | | | So, shifting to the left from the very left column you get to the very right one. |
