This is possible for the first six to eight moves per side in the opening but then you would have to know capture sequences etc and move ordering and repetitions and mate threats and.... When you reach a Kpk or kPK endgame you would lack data to reconstruct the game. It is like an object that is partially destroyed by fire. If it is too far-gone we don't even know what it was. If it is only slightly damaged then we might be able to even get clues as to why it burned in the first place. In any case, the first position is usually the same unless we are playing Fischer Random Chess and the ultimate final position is two opposite kings on the board. We can use mathematical regression to solve problems but in the real world there are few exact solutions... Tim Frohlick On October 01, 2000 at 09:02:23, Georg v.
