My friend bought this and brought me over a copy, but hadn't copied the manual yet for the look-up copy protection. He promised to call when he got home so that he could look up the password for me. By the time he called, I'd already cracked the game and was playing it. :)
here is the catch behind the queen taking that pawn that was protected from the other queen ... if the red queen takes the blue queen, then the red queen will be taken also because the blue queen is protected from the knight so it will be an exchange of queens but the blue pieces will have an extra pawn over the red pieces so it is a good move for the blue chess team to take that pawn since only 1 piece was defending it but 2 pieces of the opposing army of pieces was attacking (threatening) it.
oops ... what i said before is totally wrong about the white queen being pinned from the rook if the white queen takes the other queen because the white king is not on the same line as the queen so i don't quite get why that black queen took that pawn if it was protected from the white queen. sorry for saying the wrong thing before, a piece is only pinned because of the king but the piece that is pinned has to be on the same line as the opposing bishop, rook, or queen.
I think i know why the queen took that pawn, even though, it was protected from the other queen and the reason is so if the other queen takes the queen, the rook will pin the queen because of the king being on the same line and the rook will be protected from the king so white will be down a pawn anyway.

even though, the pieces are red and blue here ... the red pieces are replacements for white and the blue pieces are replacements for black.
