Yeah! If you want to be unrealistic, go the whole hog. And who's to say this couldn't happen in a game? :p

It'd have to be a game that is neither chess nor Rex Multiplex [pawns can promote to K].


Mate in 1
Atomic Chess with Checkmate and extra-set pieces allowed.

Whatever andernach chess is, I assume it allows colour changing pieces and multiple kings.

Andernach = pieces change color after they capture. It does not allow for multiple Kings.
