## What is CH3TRIS?

CH3TRIS (pronounced che-tris) is the most addictive challenge on a 3×3 chessboard: rearrange the pieces below on your board into the layout and number of moves indicated above to make CH3TRIS.

HOW TO PLAY
• At the top you see the target layout and the number of moves.
• Below, your 3×3 board with the pieces.
• Move the pieces following chess rules until you recreate the indicated layout within that number of moves. If you do… you've made CH3TRIS!
