Hello Ratko, Listen I have been following this very interesting thread since it started and am involved in another thread which has also generated some interest. Appears to be some different ideas then what I have seen here. One of the gentlemne is interested in max of promoted pieces. ie I remembered seeing the thread that you can have 8 queens of one color and 4 of the other. Can someone tell me what the max #'s are for rooks, knights and bishops. Thanks. BTW if anyone out here is interested in the other thread discussing other suggestions let me know and I will post it. Les
