>there are pawns that could be promoted to queens if they weren’t blocked by other pawns, and those pawns prevent all other pieces on the board from taking pawns and from checkmating the king?
I'm having a hard time picturing this scenario. Is it that any move to take a pawn places the mover in check?
- Someone 9mo agoI have a hard time envisioning that, too, but I think one can construct boards with rook or two bishops being closed in behind a setup with all 16 pawns still on the board, with the opposing king on the other half of the board.
