The Broken Chessboard Puzzle Requires DirectX Released January 2006 (680 KB)
The Broken Chessboard Problem was first posed by the famous English puzzlist, H. E. Dudeney in his book "The Canterbury Puzzles and Other Curious Problems". Although he only published a single solution to his problem, there are in fact 69 distinct solutions, excluding rotations and reflections. Your task is to find as many as you can. The 13 pieces must be placed into the frame to form the original chessboard. It is not sufficient to merely get all the pieces to fit into the frame, you must also have regard for the alternate black/white coloring of the chess board. The computer version of this intriguing puzzle is also accompanied by a copy of the originally published problem No. 74 from Dudeney's puzzle book. Why not order your copy today?

TangleWeb is a game in which you must untangle a tangled web of points and lines so that no line is crossing another line. The game can be played in two different modes: Game mode where you play a series of levels, each level becoming more difficult than the previous level, and Single mode in which you try to untangle a single web in the shortest possible time. A third mode, Design mode allows you to design your own webs. In Game mode you get points for completing each level, and additional bonus points which increase in direct proportion to the speed in which you untangled the web. In other words, the faster you untangle a web, the more bonus points you get. At the start of each new level, you get additional bonus time, but if you let the bonus time run out, the game ends. The game also ends after you have untangled the last level. At the end of the game, if your score is good enough, you will be entered into the TangleWeb Top Ten. In Single mode, you play against the clock and statistics are recorded for each web solved. This is an intriguing game based on planar graphs and can become very addictive.
