The Hardest Puzzle.

What is the result? Is there a solution? Can you find it? By the way, before you waste your time, computers will not help.

I give up!  What's the answer?

That's for you to find. I don not know what the result is. However, it is clear that either white will win or draw since it is white to move. Although I am not sure, I suspect white has a way of getting ahead at least one queen.

 Yes, I imagine so....

How did you even get into this position? 

I am sure chessisgood will reply, "That's for you to find out!"  But I suspect some illegal pawn trafficking was involved, since a sudden proliferation of queens would be immediately noticed by the authorities.

Haha. I believe that might be so... It's quite interesting how you have 31 queens on both sides! 

Yes, amazing, isn't it?  Obviously very ambitious plans on both sides.  White may have the first move, but come to think of it, is it toward victory or destruction? 

I have to agree. One thing I am very curious about, is the fact that both sides have more Queens than the starting amount of pawns! You start out with eight pawns [unless the rules have somehow changed and you start with 31]...

@CalbaMan:  Yes, the rules have changed!  They have changed them so that now, not only pawns, but major pieces can promote, and when you run out of major pieces, you can borrow your opponent's pieces.  Isn't that great?!

@chessaddictress:  Wow! Amazing! Does that mean that now pawns can move backwards, Kings can jump over other pieces and Bishops can move on different colored squares?!

Good question, CalbaMan!  You see, not only is the answer to this puzzle a secret, but the new rules of chess in their entirety are secret as well, and they will only be revealed at the moment someone solves this puzzle!

How unfortunate! It seems that, just like this puzzle, the new rules will forever remain unknown! Unless we apply a new rule that I somehow managed to find... Queens can move 31 - 32 times per turn!

Perhaps the puzzle isn't that difficult but just appears to be difficult?  (I have to admit that I gave up before I even tried.  How about you?)

Fine. I confess that I did give up... It's like an algebraic equation. You look at a problem that seems to have a thousand numbers and variables, and you quit!

amusing stuff

Amazingly, Houdini 3.0 indicates only 1. Qcxb5! leads to a decent advantage, rating this position at just +3.14

Oh amusing. Not amazing.

Wow... chess computers are speechless for once!

@CalbaMan:  i agree - same kind of thing.  Interesting lesson here somewhere.  Perhaps it doesn't matter where you start, you just have to start!  Now that's a "take away" thought.  Maybe you could start from one end and I could start from the other, and AndyClifton could start in the middle, and just start chomping away like manatees eating lettuce, and see what happens?
