#452: Duck Chess Minesweeper

 made on 11/18/23

Place ducks in the board so numbers represent the amount of legal moves each piece would have if it were their turn. Ducks cannot be captured and prevent pieces from moving past them, although knights can jump over them. The amount of ducks is in the top-right. The board is from white's perspective. 

(You do not necessarily need to draw ducks; the term is borrowed from duck chess.)


This puzzle was inspired by a chess minesweeper concept by aadenboy. 

I wanted to set up the puzzle in a way that wouldn't require any guessing.

Also, this is probably one of the most chess positions of all time.
