Best play is to pretend you supported the other king the whole time. Save your own skin.

Little does that royalboi know he’s next

The French opening is really difficult to counter. Do you still have your Scarlet Pimpernel?

Your only hope is civil unrest. Remind the pawns they all can become queens that need no man.

promote one of the pawns to become a new king. It worked in France.

This move is region locked

This position could only happen with an illegal move. Another monarch would never permit the pawns to kill royalty and their police force would never help.

Did you ever wonder why the game is over just before a king dies?!?

You lift up the neck restraints, then stick in the king's neck

So are 18 pawns and that odd-looking piece on c4-d6. I'd say any rules are OK at this point. How about Kb4-Enterprise (en beam-me-up-Scottant)?

Since you lose the game if your king is captured, you already lost and this is what happens after the game
