You can win a Pentax 12MP digital camera (3X optical zoom, 2.5 inch LCD screen, triple shake reduction) (the Grand Prize) by solving the chess puzzle posted on this page daily. At the end of the month, one Grand Prize will be randomly awarded to one lucky contestant. Solving more puzzles increases your chances to win the Grand Prize -- think of it as a lottery and every time you solve the daily puzzle, you get another lottery ticket! Please take your time to think about the puzzle before entering the solution as you can only make up to 3 incorrect moves before failing to solve the puzzle for that day. Good luck and have fun!
