How do I solve this puzzle?
  • 1 of 5: Did you look at the floor around the chess board?
  • 2 of 5: It has the shape of a chess board.
  • 3 of 5: And there are huge statues on it depicting chess pieces.
  • 4 of 5: Arrange the pieces on the board in the same way.
  • 5 of 5: Be aware though of the correct positioning of the board.  When you look at the statues facing the huge painting across the bed, you are in the same position as the puzzle board is.
