Disarray - Now, Rife At the Black Court (Posted on 2007-10-25) Difficulty: 3 of 5
While still at home the Black King, in rather similar circumstances as his White oppressor, finds disarray at Court [K, Q, QB, QKt, QR] on his Queen’s side.

Again, he is the only occupant of the first rank and all 5 pieces are spread within the domain [K1 – QR5] with none being a direct threat to another.

Find a situation where the occupants again enjoy a lesser domain, and the Queen again can force ‘mate’ without herself being under any threat; after a successful "coup d'etat" who cares if another is also under threat?

Bonus:
I offer 28 scenarios where the Court enjoys 'serenity', but how many fit the "more reduced" domain category?.

I have enjoyed seeing the journey of this problem and which I wrote as a sequel.

I currently have nothing more in mind within this theme.

Anyone with related changes is invited to offer their own challenge, but, it will have to be more than just emulating this concept!

May we something even more creative.
