Emne: Re: The database + a contest!!

My quick suggestion is that all the white pieces are in one corner, King right in the corner with the bishop one out or one up (opposite colour to corner), and the black King in the opposite diagonal corner. Before the King can be maniputlated you already have 8 moves for the King, 4 for the knight and possibly 3 for the bishop ... 15 moves before game on! Of course the actual placement of the black King is not so critical so long as he can get to the corner quickly without undue interference. :)
