GameKnot related: puzzle 31543

markies 24-Nov-10, 04:29	puzzle 31543 I can not add more solutions or even improve puzzle #31543, because there are too many possible variations. Heinzkat already told me that 1600 variations is the limit. So, GameKnot must remove this one (automatically) or have to increase the number of variations, I think.
kingdawar 24-Nov-10, 04:43	Some problems fit just within the maximum of 1600 nodes. Somebody could attempt adding a failing try that puts the amount of variations over 1600 and the puzzle would be deleted; while actually that try does not work out to mate in ALL variations. So automatic deletion would not be handy if 1600 is reached - while I do agree any problem that has been "improved" (from 7 to 6 moves like this one) should be deleted in any case.
markies 16-Dec-10, 01:48	Another example, puzzle #32301

kingdawar 16-Dec-10, 04:43	32301 is perfectly deletable. Not yet 1600 variations by far... and already over 10 alternatives. So it will be deleted automatically in two days from now. puzzle #32094 is a better example of an irremovable stain
markies 16-Dec-10, 14:29	Sorry, I thought a mate in 8 moves was possible here, but I guess it was wishful thinking and I could not prove it, because the GameKnot computer stopped after 1600 alternatives.
baronderkilt 19-Dec-10, 00:28	Gotta say ... The thought of making an Irremovable Stain really does something for me. Is there a book on doing these ?! }8-D btw: Stain Removal ... Step One ALWAYS COLD WATER, 80%+ success rate. if not then... Step Two TRY NON-AMMONIA WINDOW CLEANER or MECHANICS HAND-CLEANER,
