The white queen and king are mixed up. The symbols are right but the type-ins are switched.

I was very confused the first time because I thought you meant to label each piece specifically, e.g. queenside black rook, kingside white bishop, white d pawn, etc.

Man that gets repetitive when you have to type "pawn" 16 times in a row. Maybe this isn't a great format for this quiz.

You may want to change the heading, because the time is 1:30 and the heading says 90 seconds. Great quiz overall.

Why? This turns it into a typing challenge rather than one of knowledge. Do we really think that an extra 30 seconds will make people suddenly remember a knight or bishop? I’ve been playing chess all my life but I can’t get more than 2 points because I can’t type fast enough even when I copy and paste pawn
