That's better! ;)
It gets the idea of standing on the fallen across okay, if not quite exactly
in the way you may have wanted...
You might try removing part of the King to give you more flexibility with
positioning the Queen. Tek has done a thing where he creates two prisms with
interlocking faces (same set of points for the 'important' edge but with the
interior of the prism in opposite directions), and then you can divide an
object
in two parts with intersection { object { Prism1 } object { King } } and
intersection { object { Prism2 } object { King } } ... (or more than two
parts
if you like, of course). So. Anyway. Using that, you could take away enough
of
the kings body to let the queen have one 'foot' (edge of her base) on the
king
without tipping at a silly angle. 'course the shattered chess king might be
reminiscent of Harry Potter, but that's the risk you take playing with a
widely used idea like chess pieces. ;)

Good Luck!
