Doh! Sorry for my ignorance 
Mate in 64!!
Sort:
I'm confoosed. I have no idea what this puzzle means, please explain.
Goodness me; there are some rather uncharitable comments on this thread. We're all chums here, let's all get along now.
????????????????????
mate in 64!! ?
64!! is a huge number! (64-factorial) factorial - are you sure the 50-move rule (or the *logical-justification-wise* special case 3 move rep.) won't be in the way? [plus, even if you play at a nanosecond a move, the universe will end long before checkmate is in sight of the not-so-gifted :)]
someone missed the joke?

I thnk that you might have forgotten a little about factorial!
The factorial of any number call it "n" is defined as n!=n(n-1) (n-2)...2.1. As an example 4!, factorial 4,is equal to, and I do realize that you do know this, is the 4x3x2x1or 24.
Now 64!! is this a double factorial? or simply a chess annotation as !! means a very strong or brilliant move?
well I cannot see how 64!! can be annotation seeing as 64 is a number not a move, and yes the standard interpretation of 64!! is (64!)!, that is, gamma(1+gamma(65)) where the gamma function is of course defined by analytic continuation, starting from definition on the right half-plane as gamma(z)=integral(0 to inf) t^(z-1)e^(-t)dt. [I am writing quasi-tex, NOT pseudoTEX, as prev poster is unlikely to understand TEX..)] --- and yes, for non-negative real integers n, factorial(n) that is gamma(n+1) does turn out to be n*gamma(n), and gamma(1)=1 from def. [being integral(0 to inf) exp(-t)dt], so the previous poster is right in a schoolchildish way...
But if you define 64! as 64x63x62x..x1 [rather than prove it] then you are not going to understand the proof of the Fermat-Wiles theorem in a hurry... nor do I seeing you cracking the Reimann Hypothesis..

Math is so simple. The answer to everything is 42.

sorry Pktitun, you may want to install a new chess engine if the output you are getting is 'just die, pls'. Fritz 6 will usually give moves, so you should go buy that. maybe someone will do a forumkill since people don't seem to understand silliness anymore. it was just a simple joke to express the idea that there is no 'solution' to chess. sorry to strain everyones brain. for the few that 'got it', thnx
