    The correct answers are 32 for the bishops e.g. 4 rows of bishops separated by 4 rows of pawns (this being the simplest pattern although there are others) & 16 Queens each one separated by a wall pawns

    If I had told you that it would have been too easy! Still I give you one final chance to redeem yourself this one is real easy......

    What is the maximum number of rooks that you can get on a chessboard before one rook can attack another rook ? Note as before colour is irrelevant, but this time Pawns are not allowed.

    I'd say 8 but then thats too easy

    so my guess is you intend us to use bishops or knights or queens as blocks instead so the answer is 32 again this time
