Go up one level in this thread


Lars Rasmussen mentioned this problem to me the other day.  He has obviously
been thinking about this for some time but does not have an algorithm.

Therefore, you have not missed the obvious.

A similar problem is to devise an algorithm that spots (and eliminates from
consideration) 'time wasting' White moves in an endgame study that allow Black
to return to a previous position.

It may be possible to do this 'within limits' but a general algorithm
guaranteeing to remove all time-wasting moves seems to imply an open-ended
amount of computing.
