White is in Zugzwang on move one! ;) Exactly that's why I believe chess is a draw. Zugzwang positions are really rare compared to "ordinary" ones, so I think it is unlikely that the initial position is Zugzwang for White or the position after any first move is a Zugzwang for Black. Of course that's no closer to a proof than tossing a coin, but it fuels my belief. :) And to paraphrase Fermat, I did solve chess, but the proof does not fit on the margin of this discussion board. ;-))) --- Shep
