brilliant...

but impossible. black is heading toward row one, so none of the pawns can take the knight. but you couldn't actually get the board to look like this in a real game, eventually pieces would have to be taken to get the pawns around. but a good trick.

Okay fine.

Okay so the pieces are somehow at the opposite ends of the board? Thus it can be checkmate without the pawns taking the knight, right? Since this is impossible, I wouldn't use brilliant to describe it...lol

I suppose the point of this one is

to help clear your mind and see the board with fresh eyes. It could be useful when you feel cornered.

Or just for the fun of tricky chess... why not? just like tricky pool or dribbling with a football for 10 minutes. It's just for fun
