Ämne: The database + a contest!!

I can start working on the code for the BN vs K database tonight. It will not be slick, nor fast to execute, but I can get it up and running in no time. I think the longest win is about 38 moves (for one side) so it will need to loop around 75 times (38 times for the winning side, 37 for the losing side) and I am not sure how long each iteration will take to complete.

If I generalize the code to solve any db configuration, I would need to spend at least a week making it very fast.

OK, now for a contest:

Try to set up the most difficult position for a knight and bishop to mate a lone king.

So, tell me the location of:

White King
White Bishop
White Knight
Black King

For the longest white to move and win position you think there is. The winner I will give a free stainless steel Gothic Chess commuter mug, complete with thermal lid.

Post your submissions, one per customer, with the subject heading "B+N vs. K Contest"

OK?
