Stuck on Chessboard tricksters scene with Hole in the Wall

[araigumabks]

Are you totally clueless on how to make the tricksters toss the seashell toward Hole in the Wall?  The solution came from CalmLunatic.  Read his reply near the bottom of this webpage.

Do you have a red tile by any chance?

[drunkenmonkey]

The first part is to block the white checker from moving back towards the other two reds. Learn how the checkers move.

[snabbott]

You have the right idea - just keep trying...

[wilco64256]

Someone is not paying attention to what I post.  I MADE IT AS FAR AS THE WHITE PAWN CLOSEST TO THE CASTLE EXIT (pawn = chess piece with the sphere on top of an upside down cone)!

Try figuring out where he's going to move to and then do something to prevent that in advance.

It's impossible this puzzle, Whenever I try to block the red pawn to throw to the other red pawn, if I block the path It throw back at the white checker piece

[Cez]

have you tried 2 red pawns possibilities? one of them works, the other doesn't.

[jobreton]

I feel I'm circling around and around and around. Stupid Puzzle

[snabbott]

The puzzle is actually not that bad once you figure out the patterns, but figuring them out can take some pretty major effort. It does sound like you're blocking the wrong pawn. Also, remember that

you need to block it when it doesn't have the shell.

Try using the Hand on the tile in the inventory.

really stuck here can somone give me exact directions even if via pm

[writerlove]

I'm stuck here too. Blah. I was never any good at checkers or chess.

[Cez]

how stuck? Want a hint? Ask a question!

[writerlove]

Currently the red piece in the back has the shell. I've figured out I'm supposed to block them from passing it around, but I'm not sure how.

Spoiler (mouse over to reveal):

have you gotten the tile yet?

[writerlove]

Spoiler (mouse over to reveal):

Yes I have the tile.  I've placed it several places on the board but the little buggers still find a way around it.

[calmlunatic]

Below is a fairly explicit spoiler. So only use it if you are very stuck. And I mean VERY stuck. It's very entertaining to figure out.

How the game works.
Red checker is stage one.
Red chess stage two.
White chess stage 3.

They will pass the shell between them and the white checker. Watch where the white checker moves when it throw to the red checkers. Then place the tile on the square where it jumps. But make sure that tile is the opposite colour of the square you're putting it on. Use this for below when I say block it.

White checker will pass it to red chess when blocked. Red chess 1 (the one the white one throws it too) will now toss it between itself and Red Chess 2 (the other one). If you block Red Chess 2 it will throw to White Checker and you'll have to start all over again. You need to block Red Chess 1 who will then throw it to White Chess 1. Block white chess 2. WHite chess two will then throw to hole in the wall.

I currently have the red #1 blocked and the white one with the shell. But If I try to block him, white throws it to red number one. Grrr.

Spoiler (mouse over to reveal):

You don't need to block white number 1. You'll notice that he'll throw it to white number 2 if you don't. BUT, the problem is that if you try to put the tile next to them when they have the shell, they will throw it. So, while White #1 has it, you have to anticipate White number 2's move

I haven't seen them toss to the pawns once in this section. It's just between the three checkers pieces. So I'm not sure which one is white number 2.

Thank you for posting that! It's how I figured out how to solve the puzzle! For awhile I wasn't sure I would get it, lolz.
