Not really, the game is more or less made up of only about 8 types of moves. You seem to enjoy talking about what is impossible so I want to give you something to think about. Suppose I told you that I can store up to 120 chess positions with the analyses using < 400 bits!! (just about 3.3 bits/position. Using your in depth knowledge of math do you think thats possible???. I mean anyone knows you can only store 2 pieces of information per bit, Right?? BTW the symbol "<" means less than if you didnt know. >OR, >Re-think your position? > >HMMMMM? >Stop the Nonsense! >CY
