Chess miner is a chess puzzle, where the goal is to deduce the location of invisible pieces based on information about how many times certain squares are attacked. For example, in the position at right, the challenge is to place a white king, queen, rook, knight, and bishop in the five marked squares so that the squares with numbers in them are attacked zero and four times respectively. The solution is to place the queen at a1 (the only place where it doesn't attack a6), king at d6 (the only place where it attacks c6), rook at c8, bishop at a4 and knight at a7.

into the deep pit
to receive the dust of a kiss,
an ore-cell.”
