Help With Majestic Chess

In chapter 8 of Majestic Chess, you have the position 8/8/8/3BB3/8/8/5q2/8 b - - 0 1 (White Bishops on d5 and e5 and Black Queen on f2). You are to add two kings so that White can checkmate Black in one move.

Any help?

Well there's the board.

Does it state "White to move" or not?

The FEN (8/8/8/3BB3/8/8/5q2/8 b)

That little b at the end of the FEN means Black to Move.

P-

Sorry I'm late. I don't know how the b got at the end of my FEN. It should be White's move and White should be able to mate in 1. We have to add the two Kings to the position above to make this possible. I worked on it for a while. Couldn't come up with anything.

Thats' the one I came up too, Nordlys (or with a white King on h6).

I was afraid that you meant white was to move. This makes it VERY hard. Or is Majestic chess a different game?
Maybe you should post your question in "posers and puzzles"? There should be more people interested in puzzles like this,
Besides, the help forum is supposed to be for technical questions about the site, this is probably why someone "helped" with the fen.

Yeah, I noticed that this was not the right place to post, but only after I had already made the post.

But while we're at it, how DO you post a board diagram like the one above? I haven't seen any instructions posted. (Didn't really look either.)

Where do you place 12 knights to threaten or occupy all spaces on the board?

Do you want the solution or hints? [oh I see this one is a bit outdated; the answer is wKf3 bKh1 - 1. Kxf2#].
