You may feel this brain teaser was designed by the devil himself before you finally figure out the solution.
Each of the 16 pieces consist of two blocks, one of light wood and the other dark, giving it the classic chess board look. However, these are not just any blocks.
As you can see in the product pictures each are cut at odd angles. You cannot just fit them together any which way and expect to solve this puzzle.
In order to actual solve the devil's chessboard you need to assemble all 16 pieces in to a 5x5 chessboard pattern of two layers.
A puzzle design by William Stijbos of the Netherlands. It was the winner of the prestigious Himiki Puzzle competition in Japan in 1990
