1st question....
Lets suppose we have a Gothic Chess board(10x8) and 8 Maharajah
pieces. A Maharajah piece can move like a Queen and a Knight together.
Now lets try to put all the 8 Maharajah's on the 10x8 board in such way
that all Maharajah's will not threat each other. And here is one solution:
So the 1st question is: How many different such Gothic Chess positions exist?
Or to
say it with another way: In how may different ways (taking into account the
board coordinations), we can put 8 Maharajah's on a Gothic Chess board, in a way
that no one will threat any other?
SOLUTION:
The answer is
32.

2d question....
Lets suppose we have a Gothic Chess board(10x8).
And we put a number of Knights on it, in such a way that no one will
threat any other. Here is an example that we have put 28 Knights:
The 2d question is: What is the maximum numbers of
Knights we can put on a 10x8 board, in such way that no Knight will threat any
other?
SOLUTION:
The
answer is 40.
40 Knights on 40 black squares or 40 Knights on
40 white squares.......
3d
question....
In the above Extinction Chess position there is a win in 6 for white. Find
it..........
So the 3d question
is: White to play and win in 6
moves. What is the solution?
The correct answer should have a winning line for white with 6 moves for him and 6 moves for black. That means to find the optimal defence and attack for black and white respectively....I wrote this as i got some e-mails that asked for clarification. And generally you should know that "find a MATE in X" means "find the best defence and attack there is"
SOLUTION:
The answer is 1.Be3 Qa5 2.b4 Bxb4 3.Bxf7+!!
Kxf7 4.Qf3 Bf5 5.axb4 and white threatens a Queen and the last
black Bishop so the game is over next move, as black can't make a capture
of any white's last piece........
