here is the puzzle, it doesn't come out of an actual game, its really messy to complicate the game, green promoted, pieces are rushing the center area, red has a defenseless king due to focusing onthe center rush, and yellow is going defensive. in this messy and disadvantageus situation, can red win?

Is this Teams or FFA? I noticed the 1-pt queen but I also noticed that the point counts were missing and "Teams" is selected in the screenshot, so I can't really answer this puzzle unless:

a. This is a teams puzzle, in which case we already have a puzzle series for it (this would be puzzle #134)

OR,

b. If this is indeed an FFA puzzle, we would need to know the number of points each player has, and even then it's very hard to answer since there are still 4 players left on the board and there are way too many pieces.

Overall, the game mode is not specified and puzzle may or may not be flawed.

the screenshot had teams written, bc i forgot to change it, but its supposed to be FFA, with red with 1 point, blue with 4 points, and both yellow and green with no points (yes i went trough counting all the missing pieces and allocated the points)

That still doesn't make the puzzle solvable, because anything can happen in FFA. The only way you could possible solve an FFA puzzle is if there is a forced win where no matter what the other players do you still achieve the goal, which in this case is not possible
