Hi, Last month, someone wrote... >The number of positions should be 462, so evaluated: > > 1 x 4 = 1 x 33 = 33 white king in a1 > 3 x 6 = 3 x 58 = 174 white king in b1, c1, d1 > 3 x 9 = 3 x 55 = 165 white king in c2, d2, d3 > 3 x 9 = 3 x 30 = 90 white king in b2, c3, d4 > ---------- >Total 462 Is it true? Could someone explain this to me? Already after the 1st line that says ... > 1 x 4 = 1 x 33 = 33 white king in a1 ...I am confused. If the white K is on a1, then the black king can be anywhere except a1, b1, a2, and b2, therefore there are 60 legal positions for W Ka1, not 33. Thanks! Paul
