neato - work on the chess pieces first - start on bottom row- some logic and look for non-5 squares.#2: larrry grizzard (gizzard) on Aug 10, 2011
then the rest is easy.
no guessing required since squares next to pieces are all "blank".
Does it count as guessing if make the assumption (a guess of sorts) that it is a chess board, and then take the fifty-fifty chance (another guess) that the upper left is the black square and not the white one?#3: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Feb 29, 2012

I liked the first one better. Why make it so easy?#6: Gary Calvin (garycalvin) on Aug 4, 2018
I think this is a stalemate, not a checkmate. Assuming White has his king, a knight and a pawn, and Black has just his king, it doesn't look to me like the Black king is in check.
