Personally i think that would be interesting; and when playing with a comp, an interface or the server could anyway decide on the 50 move drawing ruling; ofcourse the eval would be wrong (eg saying mate in 190 or so) but when the opponent, not having the 6 man bases, would play erroneous moves, you might be lucky anyway, arriving at mate within the 50 moves. last stupid question: are the 6 man tables now complete ? any plans in the future for some 7 man tables ? :) thx in advance for the reply..
