In a recent article by IM Jeremy Silman, called "Having Fun with Blunders," he wrote:

...[I]nstead of telling a beginner, “That’s a blunder,” you should say, “Great move! Wonderful. You are so talented! However, in this case your queen can be taken by 12 enemy pieces. Chalk it up to bad luck. BTW, look under your seat and you’ll find a hundred dollar bill."

This quotation inspires absurdity.

Challenge: Create a position in which either side can make a Queen move that will cause said Queen to be en prise by the maximum number of pieces and Pawns possible.
