I meant to remove some parts of the King without breaking it entirely, so
that
the Queen had a lower surface to step on. If you can see my ASCII diagram,

Original:
----\
     \------------\
                   \
                    --+
                   /
     /------------/
----/
Modified (broken, chipped... ):

----\
     \--\     /---\
         \___/     \
                    --+
                   /
     /------------/
----/

Okay, that's a terrible diagram, but if you remove a piece like that, the
Queen could 'step' on the lower spot, and then be 'standing' on the King
with one edge, without looking utterly silly. (Obviously, if you put only
one edge of the Queen's base on the king with a fully intact King, she'd be
at a very large angle!)

Hope that helps...

Well, it has some spectacularly shattering chess pieces in it. ;)
