Broken Sword: Shadow Of The Templars (Director's Cut) Hints

How can I place the red chess pieces on the board in the right places?

  • 1 of 13: Trial and error.
  • 2 of 13: This puzzle has hints in the way of colored marks on the bottom of each piece. I ignored them.
  • 3 of 13: Just try each piece out with each hole -- it will only take a minute or so to find where each of them goes.  The solution is listed below, with columns left to right marked as A, B, C, D, and E, and rows from top to bottom labeled as 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
  • 4 of 13: A1 = Castle.
  • 5 of 13: A4 = Queen.
  • 6 of 13: A5 = Pawn.
  • 7 of 13: B1 = King.
  • 8 of 13: B5 = Pawn.
  • 9 of 13: C5 = Bishop.
  • 10 of 13: D1 = Bishop.
  • 11 of 13: D2 = Knight.
  • 12 of 13: D3 = Knight.
  • 13 of 13: E2 = Castle.
