\section{Rules}
This handout contains a set of problems. You may solve them in any order. \par
Each is marked with a few stars, which you collect by presenting solutions. \par
An example is below.
\vspace{4mm}
\generic{Problem $0$:}
\onestars{4}
This is a problem that has two parts. \par
If you solve the problem on your own, your team gets four points. \par
\vspace{2mm}
There are two ways you can ask for assistance: \par
\begin{itemize}[itemsep=1mm]
\item You may uncover a hint to a part for $\lceil 0.5 \times \text{that part's value} \rceil$ stars. \par
In this problem, the hints for both part 1 and 2 cost 1 star each. \par
These are always provided in order---you must solve or uncover part 1 to get a hint for part 2.
\item You may also ask an instructor to check the work you have thus far. \par
By doing this, you will earn stars for all parts you no longer need a hint for.
\end{itemize}
\begin{hintlist}
Part 1: \tab\threestars{0}{1}{3} \par
\hintcontent{
This is a hint. Only instructors see this.
}
Part 2: \tab\threestars{1}{2}{1} \par
\hintcontent{
This is another hint.
}
\vspace{2mm}
Done: \tab\threestars{3}{1}{0}
\end{hintlist}
\vspace{1cm}
Each \say{part} corresponds to one hint in the instructor's handout. \par
\say{Done} is not a hint, it is simply a bonus for completing the problem.

\generic{General Strategies:}
As you solve problems, keep the following in mind. \par
You may want to return to this list if you get stuck.
\begin{itemize}
\item What was the last move? (By black or white)
\item Were there any promotions? The implication may be indirect: \par
if White needs a third bishop, there was a promotion. \par
\note{Promotions often resolve seemingly impossible situations.}
\item Do not assume that Black and White play well.
You may only assume they play \textit{correctly}.
