Arasan (Tamil for King) can benefit if the Queen and Alfil do their parts right.

[Eelco de Groot]

If the Dutch program 'Pion' from the early eighties would have joined, and maybe a program called 'Rookie', how is that for a name then all chess pieces would be represented! I don't know if Pion still exists, it was a mainframe program by Jaap van den Herik and his students. A pioneering feature was the use of sub-patterns in the endgame, it could mate with Bishop and Knight which was not so common then!
