      Ummmm - could it have something to do with the king not being on it's color?

          There is a solution for it. You need to move the pieces around, monolith.

            I know that, but in the graphic that was presented to me, the king was not on his color. A king must be on his color for the game to begin.

              Are the pointy-crown graphics the kings and the rounded ones the queens? If no, then you've got a point Mono, but if yes then... *nods at Asher's post with a grin*

                Actually Asher (or I should say MJW), I opened up the chess board but realized the game just started - yes, you have to move the pieces around to figure the puzzle out...but I lost interest because it's just too much thought process to waste on it - especially when I'm gearing up for my finals!

                  I did it the CSgeek way and used google.

                  I solved the problem in < 10 seconds.

                          Actually, the queen has to be on its colour for the game to begin.

                            That's an amusing little solution.
