Help!!!!!! I am stuck on the black queen's third test. I have completed the other ones.  All I have left is the 2 rooks and the bishop (white squares). Every time I land on one of them I get defeated. How do I beat the test?

For puzzle #3

Spoiler

I cannot quote you the exact moves as I have already completed that portion of the game and can't replay it again.Ã,  Resist your temptation to capture the pawns.Ã,  The bishop should be moved so that it will be able to attack the king if it is forced to move by the rook.Ã,  The movement of the rook takes 2 steps: move it across the bottom of the screen first and then move it in a position so it is right next to the king at the top of the screen.Ã,  That should be enough info for you to figure it out.

If anyone has completed puzzle #7 (it keeps crashing on me - so annoying) I would appreciate some help.

I'm not sure if this is the puzzle you are talking about, but if it is the one you have to checkmate the king with one move, keep reading...


only the bravest knight can beat the king

Excellent, that was the answer to my question - thank you so much, ikari!  I didn't realize that was the last puzzle in the game.

I cant find out the password for the doors. Which of the two knights or bishops do i need to know it??? i tried it in every possible way but always it says its the wrong password.

on the chess board are spaces from A-H and on these spaces are the pieces that play the game....There are two knights and two bishops in the game.  So what squares are they on?  going across the  board it goes like this: castle, Knight, Bishop, Queen, King, Bishop, Knight and castle. Then you have spaces from 1-8  I will give you one hint.  They are all on row 8. So you have to figure out the sequence (eg. C8)

Hope this helps you out without telling you too much
If you need more of a hint, please ask me.

 i tried, the white kights, bishop... the black ones, there their start positions and there positions at the end of the game. I tried to type only the position of one, of both... but i always get the message that i typed it wrong...
I guess i am just to stupid to understand how it works...

Schnubbel,

Spoiler

When you are in the chess games, look at an empty square, this will tell you how to type the passwords.

Please help, im stuck;

Spoiler

Got as far with the white pawn i think i can for now (played games for all players and dropped sorwd down well, - although dont know who to give fruit to,) and am now black pawn. Have got the sword and played games for the castle, but now cant get in any rooms inside and dont know what to do next. Have tried looking at the stump, and using sword with it but nothing happens, and the sword is all the black pawn is carrying at the moment.

Jane,

As black pawn go into the cave. Then use white pawn to lower rope into well, now Black pawn us objects on rope to give to white pawn.

You need to try to open every door in the black castle, then talk to the Black Rook.

As far as i know i have tried to open every door....theres one either side when you go in, and ive gone straight on to the mountain type screen, but it wont let me go through the first tunnel bit ?

[Wretched]

ggp,

Spoiler

Try a bit harder at the tunnel (you mean the right hand side tower on the mountain/castle screen), you can go through it onto the upper level. Try clicking on the tower so the pawn walks inside the tunnel, not actually on the tunnel opening.

Thanks wretched I didn't realise there were 2 ropes.  I have 87 and 58 points, and can't progress any further. I've tried passing melted candle, rope etc across please a wee hint.

I keep finding myself at a loss as to know what im supposed to be doing next in this game. Please help;

Spoiler

My white pawn has completed everyones tests and has a flower pot. I dont know what im supposed to do next with him, but he's not allowed on thebattle field yet.
My black pawn has the sword from the white pawn, a piece of rope, half a candle and has passed all the tests and has his badge so he can fight in the battle.

ggp,

Spoiler

Have you already gone through the black bishop's and black knight's doors TWICE? (using different passcodes since there are two on a game board)   Have you worked on the stump puzzle and found what was in it?

[IM NOT TEH SPAM]

Spoiler

Did you try talking to the critter in the cave, or at least kicking him until he says something useful?  Mabye you can get him to talk some sense...
