It uses to move forward the queen from the beginning.
 One can just chase the queen developing out his position.
 Nobody, I think, has chance to be beaten by the program.

   Olin, I've noticed from your postings that your comments
 about how to learn something are rather advanced. Could
 you or anybody on the List, please, give out any ideas
 about the program, I could develop, to help my 8 y.o. daughter
 and others learn all this school stuff: Math, English etc.
   Nothing special, just general thoughts how it should looks like.

   The main problem is motivation: can't figure out how
 could I make her sit and learn all the school stuff in an
 ordinary way with all this books, notebooks etc. Maybe
 computer-game stile will work?

   Mike.
