Q. What's the maximum number of consecutive check moves possible,
without allowing positions where promotions have taken place?

Answer below





























Answer -

Actually I'm not quite sure :-) But the most I could come up with was
six. Here's the starting position --

3b4/1k2q3/3pN3/8/3K4/3N4/8/6R1 w - -

and the moves --

1. Rb1+ Bb6+ 2. Ndc5+ dxc5+ 3. Nxc5+ Qxc5+

Can anybody come up with more?

Cheers,
John "Too Much Time On My Hands" Scalo
