What do you mean by a "random" board? A board with e.g. three kings and five bishops on it? In other case I can´t agree with you. Take e.g. some curious problem "mate in 3 moves" with 20 pieces on the board. Don´t you think a chess master would catch this position in less than, say 20 seconds? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stefan Pochmann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 3:45 PM Subject: Re: [Speed cubing group] bld video
