    I’d love to watch someone try to do this at a tournament. Just swapping out their pawn for an extra King with a deadpan expression.

      The game would end when any king is captured so having more than one (as opposed to making the pawn a queen) would be a strict disadvantage. I’d allow it.

        Incorrect, the game ends when a king cannot avoid capture. As such, your statement is wrong and I feel betrayed.

      I misunderstood the rules and shoved my king into my mouth, with a deadpan expression.

      Too bad they cut that out of a clip of Queen’s Gambit.

      Swap it for an enemy pawn.

      Granted, but checkmate on either of the kings = loss

      E: And now that I think about it, forking the kinds would also have to be a loss.
