I found the answear at http://www.dcs.qmw.ac.uk/~olympiad/ --------------------------------------------- Briefly: The game is played on a 10x10 square board. In the initial position, White has 4 queens placed at a4, d1, g1 & j4, and Black has 4 queens placed at a7, d10, g10 & j7. White plays first. Queens move in any vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line, as many squares as they wish, provided the destination square and those it slides over are all unoccupied. A move in the game consists of 2 steps. (1) Moving any queen that can still move. (2) blocking a square now reachable in a single queen move from the destination square of the moved queen. Once blocked, squares are never unblocked. The first player unable to move loses. For tie-breaking purposes, the winner is credited with a "territory" score. This is the number of vacant squares that could be reached by a winner's queen, given unlimited further moves. --------------------------------------------- ...and the convincing winner was Johan de Koning! //Peter
