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

Er...I'm finding this task far less than fascinating.

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.
Good point. Thanks, I used Scid 4.2.2, Toga 2.

Funny factor: 0/10.

This looks to have a philosophical importance close to a search for "the highest checkmate"
I did like that cartoon though...
