#2 SAT


A question about this fairy condition. consider the bottom left corner W;Ka1 Pa2 Rb1 B:Pa3 b2
The WK is not in check as there are no places for the WK to play. But what is the status of the move 1...bxKa1? Is this a legal move?

It is not allowed to capture king in SAT.

so if it's the only choice, it is stalemate?

Yes, if there no move except self-checks or otherwise illegal moves, it is stalemate. Actually, capture of king is neither self-check, or illegal, it is "physically" impossible move, just like move by rook in initial diagram position or pushing the blocked pawn.

Good it was no #3 SAT, because #3 SAT is undecidable :-)

(OK, this was the obscurest of my worst jokes...)

It was the most obscure because it is aimed at a German TV station. For those who don't get the joke, there is nothing to be gained from it.

I however, propose promotion problems with the condition. I call that knights in White SAT in play.

Wrong! It was even obscurer:

(Studying computer science made me even more geeky -
you are the first to know when I solve P=NP :-)
