I am not quite sure what you mean. You can limit the white king to a single triangle of 10 squares with no pawns, because then you can reflect the board along three different axis points. But when you have pawns, you still ought to be able to limit the king to 1/4 of the board, as vertical/horizontal reflections do not make pawns move sideways, as they would when you try to reflect in third axis. It is just the first cut at reducing the overall size... > >>This means more work as now you have to make each move, and then probe. > >This can be (and is in other cases) implemented in the probing code of Eugene.
