    Yes.

    Only non-witches get due process.

        @jon-nyc correct!! (Though I think the rook and queen could be reversed and the answer would still be the same)

          Maybe this is my favorite chess problem. Maybe the hardest mate in one that I have seen. It is just check mate in one, so It can not be so difficult... but it is!!

          I do really love it because it can take more than 10 minutes to solve it.

          Some years ago we made a chess book for kids and we included some satanic chess problems as this one.
          Leonid Kubel is the author of this problem.

              It might help if you said which side is to move. Assuming white, d7-d8=Queen

              I was only joking

                      When I saw that I started this forum thread 4 years ago, I was going to be sure that @George-K was the one who rose it from the dead. 555

                        @Doctor-Phibes Chess problems are always white to move. If it takes about 10 minutes to solve, you can be sure it is not an easy move.
