Hi all. I got sidetracked this morning by an interesting chess programming problem. It took me a couple hours, but I think I have a working algorithm -- haven't tested yet though. Anyway, I got to wondering if others would approach it the same way. So I thought I'd make a little competition of it. Post your code here, and I'll pick the program I like best and shower praise and adulation on its author. If people like this challenge, maybe I'll do one each month or something. Anyway, here's the one I did this morning: There are 64 x 63 = 4032 ways to put a black knight and white knoght both on a chess board. Write a program -- from scratch -- to generate FENs for each of these positions. The FENs should look something like: Nn6/8/8/8/8/8/8/8 w - - 0 1. I think my code will wind up weighing in at around 60-70 lines of C. Can you do better?
