In Response To: flawed measure of complexity (Stick)

I wrote: so in theory each side could end up with as many as ten knights.

Stick wrote: Really? I don't think so lol

This may not have been what you were chuckling about but I had to stop and think for a moment to make sure that ten knights per side was really possible. It's enough to check that the pawns can get past each other with only four pawn captures per side, and there are five capturable non-knight pieces on each side.
