If one wants to follow the rules of chess to the fullest, we need 11 more questions upon making an imaginary setup of a board. In castling, there could be as many as 4 questions. In en passant, there could be as many as 7 questions. My imaginary setup is: white king on e1 black king on e8 white rooks on a1 and h1 black rooks on a8 and h8 white pawns on b5, d5, f5, and h5 black pawns on a5, c5, e5, and g5 White to move first (a question is who to move first in which most programmers have already done). This position is where maximum number of questions are asked. (As I said, a total of 11.) Another neat thing is to have a question within a question (circular reasoning). The question is should I have which questions for castling, en passant, and who to move first. That way there is an option on whether or not to close the loopholes. We are fast approaching 100,000 messages on chess computers and I HOPE THIS IS A GOOD ONE. Some programmers like Richard Lang still haven't closed the loopholes. I do believe people have their say on mistakes and improvements on chess computers, but a grandmaster rating seems VERY high to me. Jonathan (21st message)
