what is maximum no. of kings which can be placed on a chessboard so that no 2 of them put each other in check? [provided all kings are of one color and check rule is applicable to same color kings]
I agree, the number is 16. They have to be 1 apart and if you start of one corner, you can place another 4 in either direction (vertical and horizontal) on the 8x8 chessboard. And 4 times 4 is 16.
I would just like to take some time too Thank everyone for doing what you do and make this community great im a long time reader and first time poster so i just wanted to say thanks.
