Anti-Sliding (I will name it AS in the article) puzzle is a puzzle that is solved when no pieces move in any direction if you move the tray from left to right and from top to bottom.
Unfortunately there are not a lot of AS puzzles out there (maybe the demand is not there as well?) while I really think they deserve more recognition!
Stabile Seitenlage (translated "stable lateral position") is a classic anti-slide puzzle. The objective is to put all 8 pieces onto the tray, so that no piece could move, if you tilt the tray to one side.
Now why this puzzle is special? Well because there is a rotating piece in the middle of the puzzle, making the solve interesting and even more difficult than the usual AS.
Second interesting point is that we have some wooden pegs. Well without them, the pieces would clearly fall out of the tray.
So here we have 2 difficulties: the pegs and the rotating piece! And obviously no piece should protude outside of the tray.
With that in mind, it's time to explore! It's a pretty challenging puzzle. But I (and maybe you should?) tried solving it by testing all the pieces on the different pegs. Just to check which piece can go where. I feel it's always nice to try the possibilities first and then deduce the place and orientation of the remaining pieces. But it's up to you.
If you like these AS puzzles, I highly recommand it to you. And it's nice to display it, especially once solved. Displaying it is a proof of your accomplishment :)
