This is a fairy tale taking place in Chessland, located in the Bermuda triangle. The chess pieces survey their land and trap enemy pieces. Behind the story, there is fascinating mathematics on how to optimize surveying and trapping. The tale is written by the students in the PRIMES STEP junior group, who were in grades 6 through 9. The paper has a conclusion, written by the group's mentor, Tanya Khovanova, explaining the students' results in terms of graph theory.
