I saw it with the endless blue…

That’s why we are having this conversation.

This is a difficult matter.
Chameleon
I am examining at how far we need to go beyond the chess limits in order for a win to occur.
Monster
And you most probably want the maximum necessary solutions.
Chameleon
Exactly.
Monster
I have some elements in my library.
Chameleon
Me too… I want you for later on.
Monster
In regards to the calculations I am ready.
Chameleon
Let’s start with a King, two Rooks, Knight, King with two Bishops.
Monster
152 movements.
Chameleon
Three times the limit…
Monster
And we are only in the beginning.
Chameleon
With King, Rook, 2 Bishops and King with two Knights.
Monster
238 movements.
Chameleon
With King, Rook, 2 Knights, and King, Rook and Bishop.
Monster
246 movements
Chameleon
With King, Bishop, Three Knights, and King and Queen?
Monster
232 movements.
Chameleon
With King, Rook, Knight and King with Two Knights?
Monster
243 movements.
Chameleon
With King, two Rooks, Knight, and King and two Rooks?
Monster
304 movements.
Chameleon
With King, two Rooks, Bishop, and King and two Rooks?

Only 138 moves
Chameleon
A new horizon becomes obvious.
Monster
Even in regards to situations which classically lead to a draw, we can still have a win.

With persistence beyond the limits.
Monster
The 50 move limit was born for humans.
Chameleon
The King with Knight and Bishop mats in the worst of situations in 33 moves.
Monster
This result justifies the choice of 50.
Chameleon
40 moves would be marginal… Because we are talking about an optimal solution.
Monster
Consequently, you are thinking the equivalent in regards to the occupied territories.
