The puzzle challenge is a fun activity for our members.  Each section has it's own puzzle.  To participate, each member must submit the solution in writing before the end of each round.  Members are not allowed to discuss the puzzles until all members have submitted their answers.  Each puzzle is worth 10 points.  To earn all 10 points, the solution must include the best complete variation.  Lower section players may earn extra points by solving higher section puzzles.
