Find the Truth: Each day, you'll receive between 3 and 10 statements about Chess. The number of statements changes every game, so one round might have 3 options while the next has 8 or 10.
For every day, I decide:
- The number of options (3-10).
- The number of true statements.
- The number of false statements.
- Whether your objective is to find the truth(s) or the lie(s).
I'll always specify exactly what you're looking for.
Difficulty System: The difficulty follows the value of the chess pieces:
♙ Pawn
♘ Knight
♗ Bishop
♖ Rook
♕ Queen
♔ King
Every statement is independent. Some will be obvious, others intentionally misleading.
Day #1
Difficulty: ♘ Knight
Objective: Find the 1 lie.
There are 7 options.
- A player may castle even if the rook is under attack.
- A knight can fork a king and queen at the same time.
- An en passant capture is only legal on the move immediately after the opponent advances the pawn two squares.
- A bishop and knight together can force checkmate against a lone king.
- If your king is in check, you may ignore the check if you can give checkmate on the same move.
- A queen is worth approximately nine pawns in standard chess evaluation.
- In standard chess, White always makes the first move.
Your answer should be the number of the one lie only.
