Subject: Not (?) solved a while ago ...

Go up one level in this thread



Marc ran off a whole slew of 6-man endgames some time ago but did not complete
6-man in its entirety, even if we ignore 5-1(p) and castling.

If he has completed KPPKPP, he hasn't told me, and it's possible that he would
have done.

It's also possible that someone completed win/no_win data for 6-man but this
does not provide an effective procedure for actually winning, and so should not
be seen as enough to 'solve' 6-man chess.

Actually, I think the same may apply to current Schaeffer claims to havae solved
subsets of 8-man Checkers.
