Originally posted by bosintangA mutual Zugzwang is sometimes said to be a "full-point Zugzwang'' if White wins if black is to move and loses if white is to move ie. The result changes by a full point depending on who is to move.
"In total, we have
now generated results for over 21 trillion legal positions, covering about 20%
of all pawnless 7-man endings. About 1.5 million positions are mutual
zugzwangs, and 13 are full-point mutual zugzwangs."
Does anyone know the difference between a mutual zugzwang and a full-point mutual zugzwang?
Originally posted by BowmannI've watched many a second grader chasing another's king with a lone queen while the king stands idly by--check, check, check, ...--and, thus, find a reason to support the fifty move rule. I've also muffed checkmate with bishop and knight badly enough that I would have mated the computer on move 51: the draw was a fair penalty for my errors.
The Fifty-Move Rule is the silliest in the game. It should be removed.

(The rest of your post misses the point entirely, so I didn't include it.)
