I didn't say that only white had to have queens on the board, and the answer is higher than 24. Also, please post a diagram, so I can see it. (Visual Learning here.)

The answer had better be less than 24 if the position is legal.

It is theoretical, not legal.

A puzzle to take your mind off of my astoundingly easy earlier challenge? Here's one anyway.

There is no theory without the rules.

I mean with the assumption that you could have as many queens as you wanted.

don't see the point behind that... It isn't check and WHite/Black can play many moves. If the point is that king has to have a aquare then it is 60 queens

It's now White's move, by the way.

yes it is!

Here's a faster way than my previous method (crossposted with Arkhimeedes):

Tbently i did it in 4 moves comparing to your 8 :)

Heh. To be unique, here's a riddle:

"It has been played with for centuries,

Moving one step at a time

Between darkness and light,

And when it is captured

It is all over."

Due to the very nature of this forum, I doubt any of you will be stumped. But it is a very nice riddle to tell to your friends. Any other chess riddles from anyone? (It counts as a chess puzzle!)

there seems to be a major mistake in that riddle. It will never be captured but if you tell checkmated then everybody knows the solution so i quess that it is fine :)

Well, captured is technically correct. If I said "Taken" then it would be wrong. But I suppose a better word would be "trapped."

yeah that's what i was thinking. Maybe captured is technically correct but trapped is probably more correct :). Captured has that kind of a-terrorist-captured-USA's-nuclear-missile feeling :)
