31. Maaliskuu 2003, 08:16:24 Otsikko: B + N Mate in 40 Now that I have the database code working (I still need to verify my latest computation) it appears that the longest win is a mate in 40 moves. In 8x8 chess, the longest win is 33 moves.
OK, the contest for guessing the longest win can officially start. Post your guess here. The person who submits the position resulting in the longest number of moves for white to win will receive a stainless steel Gothic Chess mug for the price of shipping. And here are some stats of the latest run, assuming everything verifies properly when I do the test tomorrow: Mate in 1 move: 2400 positions Mate in 2 moves: 1324 positions Mate in 3 moves: 3247 positions Mate in 4 moves: 16136 positions Mate in 5 moves: 49640 positions Mate in 6 moves: 60757 positions Mate in 7 moves: 78414 positions Mate in 8 moves: 58897 positions Mate in 9 moves: 57946 positions Mate in 10 moves: 60434 positions Mate in 11 moves: 110168 positions Mate in 12 moves: 168635 positions Mate in 13 moves: 254549 positions Mate in 14 moves: 294188 positions Mate in 15 moves: 261796 positions Mate in 16 moves: 213463 positions Mate in 17 moves: 171700 positions Mate in 18 moves: 179002 positions Mate in 19 moves: 193550 positions Mate in 20 moves: 275013 positions Mate in 21 moves: 421860 positions Mate in 22 moves: 618981 positions Mate in 23 moves: 743712 positions Mate in 24 moves: 793462 positions Mate in 25 moves: 768425 positions Mate in 26 moves: 880231 positions Mate in 27 moves: 1022307 positions Mate in 28 moves: 1397010 positions Mate in 29 moves: 1849137 positions Mate in 30 moves: 2444455 positions Mate in 31 moves: 3131093 positions Mate in 32 moves: 3661812 positions Mate in 33 moves: 3506075 positions Mate in 34 moves: 2590711 positions Mate in 35 moves: 1388359 positions Mate in 36 moves: 482325 positions Mate in 37 moves: 101621 positions Mate in 38 moves: 13804 positions Mate in 39 moves: 1788 positions Mate in 40 moves: 245 positions 31.

Maaliskuu 2003, 12:41:39 Otsikko: Re: B + N Mate in 40 Hey! Hey! Hey! No fair giving away the answer to Fencer! If you guys wanna turn some shady deals, you'd better do it behind closed interfaces or whatever, 'cause it makes the rest of us jealous. /Fx/ 31. Maaliskuu 2003, 11:09:46 Otsikko: Re: B + N Mate in 40 Hi GothicChessPro
I am a little confused ... well, a lot actually. Are we to post here our proposed starting positions or are you going to set up one of the 245 40-move alternatives for us to solve by playing you? If we are to post here then I guess we should also post the solution which may have a number ways of getting there. Cheers from one well-confused whisper :) |
