@ H.G.:
Would you happen to know the maximum number of moves to force mate with WAD+K vs. lone K on a 10x10 board?
Also, would you happen to have a view on the comparitive values of a WAD and a B on a 10x8 board? I ask this last question since I'm trying to revive a 10x8 variant idea of mine where fast trades of a B for a WAD might occur right from the setup, and I'm hoping that it might be okay in your view for the side parting with a WAD to allow this. My own primitive formula for estimating their difference in value on 10x8 indicates such a trade is not so good for the side with the WAD (by about half a pawn), but it could be nice to see a differing view on this, if you have one.
