Temple Chess Puzzle
Gabriel, Mosely, and Mesmi stand at the foot of a black and white chessboard
scattered with different tiles. The most important tiles to observe are the
swords, the skulls, and the blank tiles. When you land on a sword tile, the
light under the sword switches off. When you land on a skull tile, it releases
from under you, and Gabriel plunges to his death. When you land on a blank
tile, you remain standing, but the tile disappears after you move again,
meaning you can't return to that tile again.
The goal of the puzzle is to step on each sword tile once and only once.
Further, you must step on the sword tile in front of the door with the stone
circle on it last. When you do, the door with the circle on it opens, letting
Gabriel enter the next room.
To receive hints on the puzzle and the room, use your mouse to click on the
various tiles and objects in the room and select the radio icon. Gabriel will
radio Grace and ask questions about the environment and about the puzzle. The
most important thing you learn is that you must move like a knight moves in
chess. That is to say, you must move in an L shape. Two steps forward,
backward, left, or right, then one step perpendicular to your first movement.
Think about the L shape and simply rotate 90 degrees in all directions.
There are several solutions to the puzzle. Here's one:
The chessboard is eight squares by eight squares. Number the columns, starting
left to right, one to eight. Then, letter each row from top to bottom A through
H. If done correctly, the bottom left chessboard square would be at the
intersection of H and 1. Perform the following moves:
H4 to G6
G6 to F4
F4 to H5
H5 to G3
G3 to H1
