Now I'm not a math genius but 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 is not equal to 31.

It’s funny that monster chess assumes that you’ll promote to a queen for checkmates.

Is king capture forced here if Kf8 and then pawn promotes to a knight?

I mean I do understand the idea of its check mate if it “can be captured”, but it feels a bit strange when you have a choice with promotions and it can’t actually be captured if you make the wrong choice.

@shinuito true its not forced if the wrong promotion is made. It may be better to change Monster rules to force White to perform the capture. However we went with the same idea as regular chess of not needing to demonstrate that you can physically capture the King to achieve Checkmate and the win.
