Non-Attacking Chess Pieces (Posted on 2003-02-27)

Arrange all 8 chess pieces of one set (no pawns) on a 5x6 board so no piece attacks another. Never mind that they're all the same color--it's "friendly fire". Be sure that the two bishops are on opposite-colored squares. There are 6 ways, not counting reflections and rotations.

Caps and + are black squares. lower case and space are white squares. (h or H stands for knight (horse)).
