Note that I later gave two PGs with 4 non-captures. 4 is really BIG ;-)



Here are all the PGs mentioned in previous messages up to 8.5 moves. Is the
list complete ?

16+x :

6.0
rnbqkb1r/pppp2pp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR (François Labelle)

7.5
1nb1kb1r/1ppp1ppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR (Henrik Juel)
1n2kb1r/1ppp1ppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR (Similar to previous)
rnb1k2r/1ppp1ppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR (Andrew Buchanan - similar to
previous)
rn2k2r/1ppp1ppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR (Similar to previous)
rn2k2r/pppp1ppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR (François Perruchaud - Similar to
previous)
rn2kb1r/ppp1p1pp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR (François Perruchaud)

No PG in 8.0 ?


x+16 :

8.0
rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/1PPP1PPP/1N2K1NR (Andrew Buchanan)
rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/P4P1P/RN1QKBNR (François Labelle)

8.5
The two previous PG are correct in 8.5
