The crown appears on all banknotes, of course. Alan Turing was the co-creator of Turochamp, possibly the first chess computer program - although computers at the time were not powerful enough to run it!
Place each of the remaining seven pieces in a square of their associated colour so that no piece can capture any other.
Can you identify the holder of the crown?


The solution to the chess problem is shown above. The answers to the clued words are:
LATIFAH, JEDI, LANCELOT, MULLALLY, AUCKLAND, NEUSCHWANSTEIN, HOGWARTS
Writing the answers into the coloured squares, and indexing using the chess pieces gives FJOLNIR, a norse king.
