Ask for a draw.

In real life... TonyGas, if the setup was like this, you might as well buff your king with a sanctuary spell, give him the teleport and illusion skills, and allow him to shapeshift into various pieces.  Then he could shapeshift into a queen and create the illusion that the pawn was his son all along and he inherited the crown.  Then he can use up his remaining mana to cast teleport to move himself to e8 and checkmate the king while the king's busy crowning more of his surrounding pawns into queens for further acts of adultery.  After this, you should ask yourself... "Why didn't I do this in the first place?"  And the answer to that is simple:  The enemy queens were too seductive for you to think straight.

you may need to edit some of the things

If you sneak the white king off the board, you are guaranteed a draw - but not a win - unless you whitewash at least 2 queens. I think something went wrong prior to posting this puzzle. However, I am interested should you sort out the glitch.

Davaughe, I am more interested in chess scene in Jamaica. Are you in a position to give us a run down?  Any clubs I can visit while on holiday? Any really strong players who have decided to stay on the island? 

TonyGas I haven't laughed so much in a long time. Who says chess players lack humour?

Chess problem was probably sent April 1st! Probably not a nice way to do it, but he's trying to say 'lighten up' a little! I don't really agree with him - if it's too 'heavy' or 'serious' for you', don't post or read a chess forum!? Perhaps 'grow up' would also be deemed an inappropriate response? Play on . . . the GAMES the important thing, not the politics.

OK I've got it!!! Mate in 3!!... Oh no, hang on, I forgot about those queens... damn...

Very Informative... How do you save the game into the nifty blue format? I've tried to copy the pgn, but it doesn't have the useful move-by-move buttons.

Those are some NICE set guidelines...

Try Superglue!

Good guidelines.
