293 Moves to Create Art (and 36 Queens)

@Nordlandia That can't work, 18 pawns walk in on black and white squares respectively but there only are 15 pieces to capture.

OMG that was awesome!! Was that planned?????

there are only 32 black or white squares so should not be a problem

You can only count all the black pawns if you can promote the four that start on the wrong files, otherwise they have to capture a pawn on the correct file first, which, after a recapture, reduces the number of possible captures by 1 without increasing the number of pawns on the correct file. (I don't believe it is possible to do it as there will be 18 incorrect file pawns in the way of the promotion squares, and the margin for error is a single pawn lost. There are not enough pieces for black to sacrifice.)

Looks like having 32 Same-Color Bishops is a no-go.

wow amazing!

Check this out! Me and @AtomicStudy played a game to determine for good whether turning all pawns into bishops of the same color is possible in horde!

Anyone else have some cool troll games?

Amazing!
Many congratulations coming up with this.
