- Abstract:
-
Chess is perhaps the best-known two-player board game, played on a square
chessboard consisting of 64 smaller squares, alternating in black and white
colors, and 16 pieces for each player. While chess itself is a game that is
enjoyed internationally by a wide variety of people, chess puzzles are
also enjoyed by both chess professionals and chess enthusiasts alike. Many
professional puzzle hunts feature some form of chess puzzles, usually
requiring puzzle solvers to determine previous moves or a move that would mate
in 1. Some examples of such puzzles may be found in Martin Gardner's The
Colossal Book of Short Puzzles and Problems [4]. In this short
exposition, we introduce a new type of chess puzzle that we call Chess
Equilibrium puzzles. Our puzzles are a new spin on the traditional
retrograde or mate-in-1 puzzles found in recreational mathematics.
