Position created by @RALRAL3333

Position description: This custom position combines the trapped queens variant I created with the trapped kings one I have also created. On one side of the board, there is the trapped queens setup and the other side has trapped kings. Each side has 2 rooks and a knight. The position is extremely interesting as players can sacrifice their knight or a rook to free their queen, use their knight to trap the opponent's king or use their knight to try and smothered-mate their opponent. Addititionally, if an opposing rook or queen gets to h1 or h8, there could be checkmate on the board! How you play the game is completely up to you, there is no "best" strategy, it depends on the position!
