| Oct 5, 2021 at 10:15 | comment | added | Zizy Archer | Initial question said that you need to capture the piece giving check. Current one doesn't and lets you pick any white piece. Is this omission intentional or just got lost during edits? | |

| Oct 4, 2021 at 19:18 | comment | added | Chris Cudmore | Needs Details or Clarity about what pieces are valid for the starting positions. Can I start with 40 Queens for example? | |
| Oct 4, 2021 at 17:35 | comment | added | Taco | Can you clarify if three white rooks or 4 kings would be allowed per "Use as many and any black or white pieces (both kings included)."? If not the upper bound is 15 as already answered. | |

Added strategy, optimization and construction tags.

| Oct 4, 2021 at 16:28 | comment | added | Taco | Also, are we limited to the standard number of pieces or can we pull in additional pieces (e.g. an extra rook)? | |
| Oct 4, 2021 at 16:23 | comment | added | Taco | Ah, I misunderstood at first; while I see it in "When in check black can only capture the checking white pieces", others might not and may confuse it as I did for "black can only capture white pieces, black still blocks"; perhaps rephrasing to "When in check, black must capture a piece, and can only capture white pieces, per typical rules." would benefit others? | |
| Oct 4, 2021 at 16:06 | comment | added | TSLF | The checking would definitely end since black captures on every move. | |
| Oct 4, 2021 at 16:00 | comment | added | Taco | While I'm all about such a puzzle; this is likely to have many answers that arrive at the most number of checks, even with proof (e.g. the same configuration rotated 90 degrees). Also, what's preventing me from creating an endless chain where the king must "dance" in a square of checks with no hope of escape? | |
