More of a side note. Do you think anyone would be interested in the first million or so unique checkmates? By unique, I mean unique ending positions. Like Fool's Mate variations accounts for 8 or so checkmates (4 per player) IIRC. They are mostly stupid mistakes and not very many moves in, but there might be a few clever ones in there. Thought about posting them somewhere, but not sure of the interest.

I'd say just start writing about it and you might discover a compelling fact or storyline.
Now I want you to write this, send me a link when you have!

Alright, will do. I have to do some prep work to get it into standard chess notation.
