You, could, ask for a clue but then that deduction will mean a reduction in the title “Geniustrophies.png.

Followingly you will be called ONLY a “chess-wizard”… can you live with that?

Geniuses usually have basic literacy.

Who is a Genius? Or, What is Geniality? meh.png

A "genius" is someone who potentially could have limited “scriptical” powers. A genius could be humble in the arts of swaying pens.

A genius could be bad at making soufflés, heck he could burn 1 or 2 making 1. Could be, not very “ornated” in oral oriented sophistications. And so on…

However, geniality is an attribute that is the hallmark of wise beings. Someone who is doing something that ordinary people who could read a book or two or three, could not.

And as the measure of this puzzle, a puzzle that has been here for 10 days with no one paying it’s dues. 'Til someone comes around and cracks it wide open. Well, that is a Genius!         

However, there is a negative sort of geniality too, People who are very talented as to hide their shortcomings with elaborate work of literacy. Those “geniuses” will not be able to solve this puzzle! resign.pngplayhand.pngfrustrated.png

- What is "X-Promotion" according to the chess-dictionary?


X-Promotion

"The X in the X-Promotion stands for a word. And the word is: “OVER”, so it is actually “OVER-Promotion”.


- & what is "Over-Promotion" according to the chess-dictionary?


Over-Promotion

"In chess you promote a pawn to a queen and that is a “promotion”, other than that it is called an “under-promotion”. Now let’s see, what is an “over-promotion”? An “over-promotion” is when you promote a piece to something grander than a queen, therefor it must have something to do with the King. However, a king is a king and unlike a pawn it can really not be promoted to anything else. So, this is symbolic!

Therefor, an "over-promotion" is an act of courage that turns a king into an "Emperor". And the only way a king can become an "Emperor" is when he is replacing the other king. As the king is standing on his usual place or his throne “e1”, if you will, you can figure out what he must undertake to take the black king under. And that is only possible when he sits on the black king’s usual “throne” when the game starts, not the start of the puzzle as black king has moved a lot to come to “h3”.

Now, a hard question:

- " Would black king fare better sitting on his throne at commence of the puzzle?”
