 Dear Per,

Thank you for your nice article!

I do hope other colleagues will enjoy it too.

Somehow, it made me think of the following difference between Chess960 and standard chess. The standard initial position is never achievable with Black on the move (pawns cannot move and captures are ruled out and hence no loss of tempo is possible); by contrast, one can arrive at some of the Chess960 starting positions with Black on the move.

Yours,

Andrey

Dear retro friends,

The previous message with the question was intended for the Administrator, somehow it got to the mailing list. Anyhow, here the pdf-file.

Best wishes

Per Olin
