Stuck on this one. Any hints? We think that it has to do with chess and we've tried nearly everything we could think of.
Hi, also stuck on this one. Grateful for any help.
Start with the list of chess moves.
This part seems obvious.
Unfortunately, there is no clear solution.
Furthermore, it is unclear whether the position of the king is part of the solution.
How many moves are needed for a checkmate?
If the position of the king is not part of the solution, then you need at least 8 moves for a checkmate. After all, you have to turn the one-digit day numbers of the individual chess pieces into two-digit numbers.

Still don't get it, I'm not able to move the queen 6 fields and your example with the bishop does not help at all, there are 3 possible fields to go and I can't figure out the right direction. No chance for check. Is it possible to change direction during a move? The only clear move is rook to 22 and when moving the knight 1 time I'm not able to create a check.
Thanks for your tips so far, I have found the solution.
It is still not clear how to move the chess pieces. The starting position is day 19 (that's where my move list is). How does the knight get from 19 to 21 with only one move? Why does the queen end up on 16, for this you have to move straight and diagonally. Are there any rules or conditions that I have overlooked? I can't understand the rook's moves either, nor the bishop's.
Can you explain the logic behind the puzzle.
I think the bit that you're missing is that they follow on. The first move narrows down all the other moves to only one possible route.
