[Retros] Last move economy record, coloring problems

[andrew buchanan]

Hi Mario,

Thanks for checking these. I will make the corrections that you pointed out.

I will think about the best way to implement your suggestion to show the
coloured units in the diagram. It would require some recoding. Where a
solution is a sequence of moves, I want to show that sequence. At the moment
you can pick up the pieces and move them by hand, but I want the sequence to
be automatic like in PDB or Tim Krabbe's chess curiosities. Then there are
problems as here where the solution is a static diagram.

Cheers,
Andrew.

PS: I dreamed about last move colouring problems last night. How sad is
that?! :-)

Hello,

thank you Alain for providing this list.

This works only if the additonal constraint
'Black to move' is added.

A rook on h8 is missing, correct position is
4B1KR/3NQR1N/4QK1Q/3NQQQP/4NPNP/6P1/8/8


> 8/8/8/8/5RP1/4RK2/4BRQN/5NNK w- - ;Q-#;C12;7


A rook on h3 is missing, correct position is
8/8/8/8/5RP1/4RK1R/4BRQN/5NNK

There's a knight instead of a queen on h7,
correct position is

4N1KR/3NQ1QN/4RK1Q/3N1QPN/4N1N1/8/8/8


> 8/3Q2P1/6QN/4K2N/2Q3K1/4NQQP/5NPN/8 w- - ;NxR#;C16;27


A queen on h4 is missing, correct position is

8/3Q2P1/6QN/4K2N/2Q3KQ/4NQQP/5NPN/8


Just a suggestion: It would be nice, if the solution
section would also contain the correct coloring ...
