Agreed. I had never played chess in my life, but with the help of Wikipedia [1], I figured out which piece to move where.

(I enjoy this mini chess, it's like a low tech version of Bejeweled. I don't have the patience for full fledged chess games, but just finding the last move is fun.)

You might enjoy chess puzzles then. They are usually of the form "[Color] to move. [X] moves to checkmate." Typically, where X > 1, the opponent's moves are forced by check. (i.e. the opponent generally only has one option if you're making the correct moves.)
