What if you could promote your pawn into a second king? Comment with your thoughts. Also this is 99 percent a joke, I am not seriously suggesting this as a new rule in chess, although it probably should be considered. lol

Well, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to make a new king when your opponent has a queen on the board

He will kill em both

And, Lets say both your kings are stuck on h7 and h8, and the queen checks a king from the g6 square..the first king can't move and the second blocks his only escape route..seems like a paradox..I mean what will you call it, stalemate or checkmate?

What would you call this specific "double-check"? How would you survive as black and what would the notation look like if something like the above happens?

"He"? Are you sure?

lol guys thanks for all the funny commentary, I was just kidding, but I totally agree with what y'all said. lol

I think the rule would be, if one of your kings is checkmated, it disapears off the board as if it were captured, but the games isn't over until all of your kings are checkmated.
