    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].

    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.

    Oh, snap! Pawns in the blast radius don't explode. Fortuitously, the masterpiece can yet be saved:
