Noam, could you explain a little more? Here's a 13.5 mover, surely not
unique:

1. c3 c5 2. Qa4 Qb6 3. Qa5 Qh6 4. a4 b6 5. Ra3 Ba6 6. Rb3 Bb5 7. Rb4 Na6 8.
f3 O-O-O 9. b3 Kb8 10. Kf2 Rc8 11. Kg3 Rc6 12. Kg4 Rd6 13. Kf5 Rd3 14. Bb2

Also, WHAT is the customary greeting?  And what do you mean by 16+0 --
there is no black king?  And what "candidate mathematical structures" are
you talking about?  Finally, was it a good party?

Best regards -- Renny
