I even found better ideas this morning that could improve indexing more (even
more that what Ernst does). This consist in using more the fact that two Kings
can not be on two adjacent squares :
Without pawns:
33+58+58+58+
30+55+55+
30+55+
30
= 404 possibilities (and not 462)
With pawns:
60 58 58 58
58 55 55 55
58 55 55 55
58 55 55 55
58 55 55 55
58 55 55 55
58 55 55 55
60 58 58 58
= 1806 possibilities (and not 2016)
Maybe it would be a good idea to have all interested programmers join in this
discussion and design a good indexing scheme and file format that everybody
would use.
