Arrange all sixteen white pieces and the black king on a standard 8x8 chessboard such that no piece is in check by another piece. The arrangement must be possible to reach following rules of standard play (though such play would be ludicrous), with no pawn having reached the eighth row for promotion.

(In reply to re(2): Clarification by ed bottemiller)

The initial position of white (less initial pawn move and queen) would not result in undefended pieces. Each rook would still be defending a pawn and a knight; and the king, each bishop, and at least one knight would be defending a pawn. 

The position of the pieces must be such that no piece defends another piece, nor may be in the position of capture or check.
