The Castle (medium)
This is a chess maze (see Chess Mazes), but with alternating colours.
Start from the rook in the top left-hand corner, and find a route to the FINISH square in the bottom right-hand corner. The rules are:
- From a rook you can move horizontally or vertically over any unoccupied squares to a piece of the opposite colour.
- From a bishop you can move diagonally over any unoccupied squares to a piece of the opposite colour.
So, for example, from the black rook on the starting square you could move to the white rook to its right, or to the white rook below it.
You'll discover why this maze is called "The Castle" if you try and solve it.
