Regular visitors to OzProblems will be familiar with the idea of twinning, which is a common way of expanding a problem’s content. In twin problems, the diagram position is solved normally, but additional positions for solving are formed by adjusting the diagram as described, such as by shifting a piece to another starting square. The same task applies, but each simple change leads to a significantly different solution. Traditionally these added positions are given in text only, but with our site update they are now viewable as diagrams without requiring extra space.
