The thing I love about this position is that White has a 466 to 3 material advantage over Black, yet Black can mate in one and White can't. LOL...better sign that scoresheet quick before the opponent notices the position is slightly illegal 😀

Add a White piece and 2 bP for an Illegal Cluster
[b]Five solutions
Illegal Cluster: An Illegal position that becomes legal if any unit (besides a King) is removed.[/b]Jirakon has solved this.

Joined 30 Apr '07 Moves 172 Hey, those queens aren't mine! It's my opponent's fault. He stole them all. You know what they say, "Cheaters never prosper."

motive to steal them?

Joined 30 Apr '07 Moves 172 Well, my opponent did at first, until he realized they smothered him. Power corrupts 😉

Can White win?
Joined 17 Dec '06 Moves 8208 It's a little ironic that your opponent managed to position the stolen pieces in a way that would allow you to checkamte him with a knight. Aint that a kick in the face? Way to play along with it 🙂

Can White win? To avoid mate he must allow stalemate or draw by 50 move rule.

(Just as a matter of record, double check is only possible by means of discovery where the piece moving out of the way also threatens to take the king.) My apologies btw. While this statement is mostly true, I hadn't taken the en passant exception into account.
Aside from en passant, I believe such is true though.
