I notice a new trend here
now this is a job for me!
this is exactly the same concept Clash of Clans is when it coes to training armies
a certain troop always takes up certain housing space
a king takes up 4 tiles in this game of Chess (which no offense, but i find it boring)
theres 8 tiles on one side of the chess board
its a square board
so:
$${\mathtt{8}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{8}} = {\mathtt{64}}$$
a king, if placement starts in the corner, takes up 4 spaces, instead of the usual in the middle 9 spaces
so, we divide
$${\frac{{\mathtt{64}}}{{\mathtt{4}}}} = {\mathtt{16}}$$
in a game of chess, you can place 16 kings on a chess board without blood spreeing in your board
