    Here's a challenge for you...

    Create a position with the greatest advantage for one side (either white or black).

    Limitations/Parameters:

    (1) Must be a legal position. (2) Use a program to analyze the position and retrieve the advantage/disadvantage score (the numbers shown in the image below... not sure what they are actually called). (3) The program cannot find a quick mate.

     

     

     

     

     

    This position gave me ~ +100.5

    Each engine values positions differently so you would have to specify the engine.  I've seen an evaluation in the 200's in Rybka before, but it wasn't a fabricated position like this one.

    This looks to have a philosophical importance close to a search for "the highest checkmate" Surprised
