[Retros] Corrections by Yefim 2376 and 84 moves. 09/01/2004

Hello from Yefim.
I am correcting my answers:
(1) What is the longest possible chess game, if both sides only
    move their knights and the 50-move-rule applies?
My answer was 99*27=2673 half-moves. Wrong.
My correct answer is 99*24=2376 half-moves (almost 100% sure).
(2) What is the longest possible chess game, if both sides only
    make pawn moves? 
My answer was 96 half-moves. Wrong.
My correct answer is 84 half-moves (75% sure:).
Corrections to FEN Notation with 4 White Bishops:
4k3/8/1b6/4p1p1/3pP1P1/2pP1BRB/2PpB1P1/3K1B1N w - -
Is this position legal?
Sincerely, Yefim 09/01/2004
