Rules: 2 player custom position, 9-check, and pawns promote to 1-point queens in the 11th rank.

The royal king can now endure 9-checks because it was too easy to win the game with 5-checks. Hence the name.

Revisions: Removed the corner queens and replaced them with walls, Kings are now in the center instead of the corner, Replaced 5-check rules with 9-check

I hope this custom position gets accepted. I made the game much easier to win for both sides (you can check the king 9 times instead of just flagging), and made it easier to claim a win (no corner queens). Pawn promotion is more practical and meaningful because of the 9-checks.

I'm not trying to get the position rated. My goal is to just get it accepted by a 4PC Custom Games admin.

We see that you've taken our original feedback under consideration. Thank you. However, this position, in this iteration, is pretty much just 9-check 2-player chess. Yes, you do have the flank pieces, but outside of the knights, you don't really have much use for them. And still, the queens behind the starting positions aren't doing much. If you try to gather points by capturing the queens, you'll get checkmated fairly easily, so... Yep, there's nothing particularly new with this position, it's just standard chess with a few minor additions.
