[edit] Zigzwang

i edited the zigzwang module,jus a bit,felt the definition was not clear or even wrong,i think even the explanation have to be rewritten. fanx-johnson

I agree, I think that it should be clearer. I don't think I'm the person to do it as I'm someone who understands the game but is not knowledgable in the game. Perhaps make it clearer that the pawn is protected (rook or bishop) and define why the king cannot simply move in front of the pawn. --Nathan 22:42, 6 January 2006 (UTC)--207.54.103.2 22:41, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Capitalization

Just wanted to ask...do we capatalize piece names "Bishop, Knight" regardless of their position within a sentence or not? I have seen this applied randomly and just wanted to check.

[edit] King worth 3.5?

This doesn't make sense to me. Is there citation to explain how the King could be worth 3.5 (and thus logically worth less than both a rook and a queen) when the entire point of the game is to capture the other player's King while defending your own? The King's value should be infinite.
