Hi Heiner,

perhaps you should consult now and then the excellent documentation of Chest.
There, I can read:

"- The statically allocated move lists allow for up to 222 legal moves.
  The current known maximum is 218 (Dickins 1968):
        3Q4/1Q4Q1/4Q3/2Q4R/Q4Q2/3Q4/1Q4Rp/1K1BBNNk w - - 0 1"

Cheers,
Dieter
