-Okay, I'm following you now. Gawds, but that would be hard to examine to look for other people's potential moves. Points across the board from each other could actually be adjacent. And every point is diagonally adjacent to every other (except for the 11 that they're horizontally adjacent to), but for every point there is one point across the whateverhedron that it would take 11 moves to get to... heh, and it figures that I /would/ find that preferable to trying the byte-and-a-half method of recording position.-
