    Gale
    : First, have the white queen move all the way across and capture the black pawn. This leaves black's king in check, forcing him to retreat a square left.^devnoteWYR_Chess_State_Option2

    Gale
    : Your queen then takes the other pawn, one square up and left, always under the protection of her faithful bishop.^devnoteWYR_Chess_Knows_HeardGalesSolution

    Gale
    : First, threaten the black king. Move your rook one square to the right. That leaves black only two choices:^devnoteWYR_Chess_State_Option3

    Gale
    : Option one - the black bishop can take your rook. This leaves your queen free to move three squares to the right, and checkmate black's king, your knight pinning him down.^devnote
    
    25.
    Gale
    : Option two - black's king retreats up and right. Your knight can then move two squares left and one up to mate the king, your rook preventing his escape.^devnoteWYR_Chess_Knows_HeardGalesSolution

    Gale
    : First, the white queen moves up and right, diagonally, two squares. This allows her to threaten black's king, while protected by her white knight.^devnote

    Gale
    : The king will have no choice but to take the knight, ensnaring himself him between his own pawn and bishop. The white queen can then checkmate by moving one more square up and to the right.^devnoteWYR_Chess_Knows_HeardGalesSolution

    17. Player: Sorry, but I'd rather think this one through on my own.
