otherwise you run screaming when trying to watch.
Last Silvester it happened again.
"Ha! My next move mates!"
"OK, you win, now I see it too."
"Now? Took you some time, given that each of my 16 pieces can #1. Even the king!"
"So big deal. Can do too with 8 promoted queens and a buttload of discovered checks."
"So there. Then I bet in the next game I promote only a single pawn..."
"...to queen, still makes two discovered checks..."
"...nope, not to queen. I promote only a single pawn and play, without a further
promotion by me, to a position where still each of my 16 pieces can #1."
"Impossible! I accept the bet!"
But Fish played like a patzer again and lost.* How?
* I.e. you may assume help play mode. | | (2) Posted by Andrew Buchanan [Thursday, Jan 5, 2023 14:36] | I think I have the idea :) | | (3) Posted by Hauke Reddmann [Friday, Jan 6, 2023 10:19] | For those who like to cheat :-), a valid answer (mine came, as usual,
with a faulty bagnose) is on CSE.

16 white units and doubled black pawns are illegal.
I have not found anything better, though. | | (5) Posted by Hauke Reddmann [Saturday, Jan 7, 2023 10:41] | Oh the humanity. Didn't think of that. :-(
This might mean there is no valid answer at all. | | No more posts |
