I think anyone who knows the rules to Ultima would want to see the puzzles, so I’ve added all 12 of them to this site, starting with puzzles 1 through 4 on this page. I used Zillions’ displays of the puzzles. Note that the Immobilizer is represented as an upside-down rook.

When you click on Solution next to a puzzle, you get a pop-up window that describes the solution to that puzzle. If nothing pops up, try turning off your pop-up blocker. These descriptions use algebraic chess notation, in which the squares are labeled as shown in the table at the right.

These puzzles are not just appearing here, but David Howe is also adding them to the ChessVariants.org page on Ultima. His write-up of each solution is extensive, and I use some his write-ups in my pop-up windows (and give him credit as the writer). Forty years ago, when I created these puzzles, I only wrote down the first move for White. Now I have trouble remembering what is going on in each puzzle, and I must solve some of them. David Howe's write-ups are especially useful here.
