Subject: For WhisperzQ and other.........

I'm really sorry for made you feel like this. I didn't make it deliberately.
But you are wrong on this. Maharajah Chess is an available game to play and the fact that i know to play it perfect, it's not something unsportsman and unfair. For example at Chess. I'm really good there. If someone is bad at chess, then is it unfair to challenge him? Of course not. Just like this. I play this game perfect after studying it a little and i don't find it unfair to play with Black pieces with someone if he wants to. I don't tell him that i found a perfect line to win, but i don't find it unfair, because he should use his own brain to find out and reject my offer.
So please change your mind and remove me from your enemies list and accept 2 games of Gothic Chess or Backgammon as my purpose was misunderstood by you.
Well by giving my "perfect" line of Maharajah Chess i know that none will accept any offer again, but i'm doing this to prove you that i'm not someone bad and evil :

The following moves are playable by Black no matter what White Maharajah plays, except the last move i have noted:

1. Knight b8 - c6
2. Pawn d7 - d5
3. Queen d8 - d6
4. Pawn e7 - e5
5. Knight g8 - f6
6. Pawn a7 - a5
7. Rook a8 - a6
8. Rook a6 - b6
9. Bishop c8 - g4
10. Pawn e5 - e4
11. Queen d6 - e5
12. Bishop f8 - e7
13. 0-0
14. Rook b6 - b2
15. Rook f8 - a8
16. Rook a8 - a6
17. Rook a6 - b6
18. Rook b6 - b3
19. Pawn h7 - h5
20. Pawn g7 - g5
21. Knight f6 - h7
22. Queen e5 - d4

Now if the Maharajah is on a1 then:
23. Rook b2 - b1
24. Rook b3 - b2 MATE#

Else:
23. Queen d4 - d1 MATE#

Dmitri ... Chessmaster1000's post flowed from an exchange of PMs where one party (C1000) was placed on the "unfriends" list of another person (me) so a PM response was not available.

You are quite right though, as Chessmaster1000 also points out, white should never win.
