    Aight that was fun. Love the gimmick

    I'd give you more praise but

    I don’t want to beat a dead horse. Or three of them

    All I can see is stalemates, as black has only one more legal move. am i missing something?

      @bravesentry @chessmate
      … black has only one legal move left… unless you give him the chance to get another one (and another, …)

      Underpromote and sacrifice pawns.

    OK, I like that one. At first, I thought we had to underpromote to rook and then castle somehow, but this isn’t !AnarchyChess@sopuli.xyz .

    Puzzle spoiler

    We underpromote to knight instead.
