Place the remaining eight White pieces thus: K at KB 4th, Q at QKt 6th, R at Q 6th, R at KKt 7th, B at Q 5th, B at KR 8th, Kt at QR 5th, and Kt at QB 5th. The following mates can then be given:--
By discovery from Q 8 By discovery from R at Q 6th 13 By discovery from B at R 8th 11 Given by Kt at R 5th 2 Given by pawns 2 -- Total 36
Is it possible to construct a position in which more than thirty-six different mates on the move can be given? So far as I know, nobody has yet beaten my arrangement.
