The 7th Guest Hints
Bishops Puzzle (Bedroom)
1 of 5: First, a word about the bishops in chess. They can move as many squares as they want to, but only along the diagonals. The bishops in this puzzle follow the save movement rules.
2 of 5: These bishops seem to be cowards.
3 of 5: That is, they won't move to any square where they're threatened by a bishop of the opposing color (any square in the same diagonal as another bishop).
4 of 5: Your goal is to switch the positions of all of the bishops, so each color is in the column on the other side of the board.
5 of 5: But you have to avoid moving the bishops to an unsafe location.
