What does each number in this group of six represent?
2, 8, 8, 13, 14, 27
HintIt don't matter if you're black or white. Think in all directions and you will get the answer.
AnswerThere are 6 types of chess pieces in all.
Each number in the group above represents the maximum possible squares that each type of piece can potentially attack.
Pawns can attack 2 squares diagonally forward.
Knight: 8 in all directions.
King: 8 in all directions
Bishop: 7 in one diagonal, 6 in the other.
Rook can attack: 7 vertically and 7 laterally.
Queen = range of rook + bishop.
Each piece needs to be at the center of the board for maximum threat.
