League matches in the second half of the season don't start until tomorrow, so in the meantime, here's another problem for youto solve....

On a 5 x 5 chessboard, place five White queens and three Black pawns in such a position that no pawn can be taken.

    Well done Silas! There can of course be similar solutions based on 90 degree board rotations.
