Abstract
This is a laboratory experiment suitable for beginning general-chemistry college students or high school students with some chemical experience. It is a chemical puzzle written in science-fiction terms to attract student interest. Students are asked to identify four colored cations and two anions and assign their identities to names of chess pieces furnished initially as clues.
