Lost Piece Exercise: The audio will tell you the position of most of the pieces on the board. Can you work out where the missing piece is meant to be? To learn more about Don't Move Until You See It and get the free 5-day Conceptualizing Chess Series, head over to https://dontmoveuntilyousee.it/conceptualization FEN for today's exercise: 1q6/8/5b2/8/1n4p1/2p1Bk1p/5P2/5K1Q b - - 0 1 And the answer is... White has a Queen on h1. The lost piece must be a Queen in this puzzle. While a bishop could control the same squares, there is no legal way this position could be reached for a bishop. The bishop would have been on this same diagonal for Black’s last move, meaning Black would have had to play something illegal to reach this position. A Queen however could move to h1 from h2 or g1 to deliver checkmate.
