Chesssweeper: Knights and Bishops
Since these two piece chess puzzles are slightly reminiscent of Minesweeper I've now renamed these "Chesssweeper" puzzles. We'll see if it sticks.
The goal here is to place four Bishops and four Knights in every row and column. The numbers in each cell indicate how many pieces of the same type that the piece in that cell can attack. A Knight in a cell with 3 as the clue needs to be able to attack exactly three other knights. A bishop in a cell with a clue of 0 cannot be attacking any other bishops. Pieces do not block other pieces from reaching their targets.
The small solved four by four puzzle above, requiring two knights and two bishops in each row and column, will hopefully help to make things clear.
