Quite an achievement. Watching the movies however, I couldn't help noticing that it took 3½ minutes to move the knight from b8 to c6. It seems to me this can be done a bit faster. Instead of making the moves c7-c6, b7-c7, b8-b6, c7-b7, c6-c7 and b6-c6, the sequence b7-b5, b8-b6, b6-c6 and b5-b7 is much shorter. The number of squares the head has to pass starting with the first pawn goes from 17 to 12. The number of times the head moves to a new piece goes from 5 to 2. I will still beat it at speedchess, but it seems to me this is quite an improvement. Hans.
