  1. the rook move of the queen gets you since two would have to be on the same file.

    Of course this is also a trick question.  Since the max for a side is 9 (original an 8 pawns) at least 1 must be of the same color as a "friendly queen.  Also with other pieces blocking, it woul be possible.


  2. No, that's impossible. the maximum of queens you can put on the board without to take each other is EIGHT.

  3. yes,because they're can be 12 queens (8 powns,2 castles and the normal queen) on the board at the same time.

  4. No that would be just too g*y

  5. The maximum is 11 queens

  6. I assume you're talking about a variation of the "eight queens problem" using ten queens instead of eight.  If so, the answer is no.  A chessboard has only eight rows, which means that with ten queens there must be at least one row with more than one queen on it (to be precise, there'd be either two rows with two queens and six rows with one, or one row with three and seven rows with one).  If two queens are on the same row, they will be able to capture each other.  Therefore, the most queens you can place such that none can capture each other is eight.
