Only limitation is that neither side should be more than ... say 20 queens up. (It's possible to have e.g. 31 queens per each side.) My maximum for possible moves has been set to 300. It should be enough. If you put e.g. 20 extra pieces to board, they will limit the mobility of others. Nero 3 dosn't yet consider en passant moves or castlings, but I'll add these features soon. (Same to promotions to minor pieces.) So these one must still add self to number of legal moves. Some evaluation problems still exist... I think that infinite level could already be tried in correspondence games... ( Early version 20.12. 1997 can be downloaded from http://www.math.jyu.fi/~huikari/ ) Merry Christmas! Jari
