Mesopotamian shekel

Located about 60 miles (100 kilometers) south of Baghdad in modern-day Iraq, the ancient city of Babylon served for nearly two millennia as a center of Mesopotamian civilization.

The people of Mesopotamia wanted to keep the gods happy so the world would stay balanced. To do this, they followed daily routines, said prayers, and made sure to bury the dead properly. They were taught to respect the gods in the work they did every day.

Trade and Commerce. So, to get the items they needed the Mesopotamians had to trade.

The King cannot capture the Queen since g7 is threatened by Pawn f6; the King can go nowhere else because the White Queen threatens its place of refuge; the White Queen cannot be captured by any Black piece.

It’s definitely legal, and it’s checkmate if the Queen is guarded, since the King won’t be able to capture it then. If there is nothing protecting the Queen, then the King can just capture it.

All three squares between the kings are protected by the king. It’s important to note that black has the opposition, but it doesn’t matter because the king is separated from the queening square. However, it we flip the king and the pawn, it’s a draw. The kings are just bouncing back and forth with no progress.
