Welcome back. Perhaps you'd like to tell me what you'd like me to call you in this exam?


Hello kiddo.


You have to get every question right to pass the Very Hard Exam about PLAYING SAFE.

If you get a question wrong you get sent to bed without any supper!

So you need to be very careful and think very hard.

I think I can do it if I concentrate really hard.
Great! I'm on a diet so it will help me lose weight!
That's so not fair! I'll die of starvation!
Only your first answer counts.

If you get a question wrong first time you can try again but you won't score a point.

If you really want to be sent to bed without any supper give the right answer, then the wrong answer!

In each question you will be given a position in which the WHITE QUEEN can CAPTURE a BLACK PAWN.

All you have to do is say whether the CAPTURE is SAFE or UNSAFE.

Concentrate hard and look carefully at every black piece. Stop and count to 10 before you answer each question.

Remember that your QUEEN is your most powerful piece so you don't want to lose it!
