Equal Chess Control With One Color


Using only the one colour set; Is it possible to setup a chess board where every square on the board is only controlled once. Occupying a square does not mean controlling it.


If it is possible, with how little pieces?


Piece Cost:




  • Pawn: 1




  • Bishop: 3





  • Knight: 3




  • Rook: 5




  • Queen: 9





You are not allowed to use the king.


All pawns must face the same direction



Answer



I can manage 34. I haven't gotten better than that. 4 rooks, 14 pawns.


34.


34 Points
