I challenge chess.com members to solve this!

sorry for the title, but it attracte peoples to the post...

the challenge is like this: find a leagel position where white have maximal advantage (which means he have 9 queens and all his pieces while black have nothing) and he can't win (which means it's a draw)...

Have fun... 

P.S. The hard part is that it should be whites turn when he can't win at any cost (without cheating or fingers to the eyes)

for exemple:

 

in the position even if it'swhites turn the position is still drawn... the problem with the position is that it's ileagel because white can't get to this position without a stalemate, so you need to find a leagel position like that

9 queens = no pawns, correct? Or will it be 9 queens and all pieces including pawns?

9 queens = no pawns I sayed leagel position
YuvalW
ohh and I forgot to mention that there should be also a movelist to the position

That would be easy to create a stalemate.  Do you mean without putting black in stalemate?

Sunshiny got it right with all whites pieces, just a stalemate.

One thing, that's alot of queens! take a lot of work to get that many, never seen it done, on the puzzle i know all the pawns are promoted to queens but other than that Im lost, with so many queens it would be easy to stalemate but i don't know about the movelistUndecided

Black would have to play atrociously to lose all of his/her pieces without taking a single piece of white's. So your move list looks like a person playing suicide chess on Black's side.

Now the hardest part: it should be whites turn when he won't be able to win!!!

 

and by the way, the game is catastrophic for black

 You've solved the first one now you can move to the hard one: It's white's turn when he can't win

 If it white to move your position is ileagel beacuse black had no moves in his turn
