I already have another, probably very easy, for you all again!
Task: State the rule/s that you believe are being broken based on the position and/or what clues I have/you think are being given. You must also use this rule to complete the given game.
The Position:
What To Do: Find four ways for white to checkmate black in one move. It is white to move, of course.

Maybe:
Rule:
The towers move like bishops.
So:
Checkmates:
Qa5-f5 # or Qb4-e4 # or Qb4-b1 # or Pg5-g6 #
Because:
Hints:
The third letter of the first word goes to the second letter of the second word (diagonally). The first word begins with T(ower), and does not move to the 'right', but moves as 'aa', letter one plus letter one, letter two, (B)ishop.

I believe the rules being broken are that
the board is not described traditionally, with the ranks described with letters and the files described with numbers
and
the board was set up with a black square in the bottom right hand corner (1a in this game's notation) rather than white as it should be.
This leads to checkmate by
promoting any of the white pawns to a rook or queen.

The towers are both on black tiles, which is also a reason your rule can't work out.

I believe the rules being broken are that
the board is not described traditionally, with the ranks described with letters and the files described with numbers
and
the board was set up with a black square in the bottom right hand corner (1a in this game's notation) rather than white as it should be.
This leads to checkmate by
promoting any of the white pawns to a rook or queen.

1. It's very clear and straightforward. 2. The correct answer doesn't use any sort of cheesy loopholes and there is only one correct answer. 3. The correct answer also relates to the title in a clever way that verifies the solution.

Not that your other puzzles have not done these things, but I feel that this one is exemplary of the above traits.
