Dec-11-07  sambo: Cool game. I like the notion of the big city chess consultation game. The play seems a bit scattered, but that's natural.
Feb-18-08  wolfmaster: White is the city that produced our current World Champion, Viswanathan Anand.

It is told that the moves for both games (1828-29) between the Indian cities had been delivered by elephants carrying sealed caskets containing the particular envelope.

Now you can calculate the average distance/day of the individual pachyderm under following conditions:

- good weather, ~ 8h rest/d
- peaceful Tigers
- shortest route (Reference: http://www.mapsofindia.com/)
