Chess miner is a chess puzzle, where the goal is to deduce the location of invisible pieces based on information about how many times certain squares are attacked. For example, in the position at right, the challenge is to place a white king, queen, rook, knight, and bishop in the five marked squares so that the squares with numbers in them are attacked zero and four times respectively. The solution is to place the queen at a1 (the only place where it doesn't attack a6), king at d6 (the only place where it attacks c6), rook at c8, bishop at a4 and knight at a7.

Famous quotes containing the words chess and/or miner:
“There is a parallel between the twos and the tens. Tens are trying to test their abilities again, sizing up and experimenting to discover how to fit in. They don’t mean everything they do and say. They are just testing. . . . Take a good deal of your daughter’s behavior with a grain of salt. Try to handle the really outrageous as matter-of-factly as you would a mistake in grammar or spelling.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
“Many a miner has gone
into the deep pit
to receive the dust of a kiss,
an ore-cell.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
