Both Black and White lose becase there are no Kings on the board. Perhaps you need to repost the starting position.

Or did you mean for use to see who ended up with more queens after all the exchanges?

Neither.  I'm actually quite surprised you two aren't familiar with this classic puzzle.  See my post above.

The original puzzle is to place 8 queens of one colour. I don't understand why they have two colour queens here. And there are also other solutions. I just don't understand the purpose of the thread....
