Question about pieces in play

[gyermolenko]

"Common squares" exercise has some peculiarities I wanted to discuss here (to not create a lot of spam in the "Issues").

• King and pawns are not included:
  Pawn controls only two squares; pawn and king are not "pieces" as some might say but..
  I would argue the exercise would benefit from having them.

• For "max pieces: 3" the overlap of controlled squares is 90% non-existant. (so just hitting Submit w/o an input -- I get "Correct" most of the time).

• For "max pieces: 1" the number of inputs is high, process is tedious. imho for pieces other than kNight it doesn't improve visualisation imho (imagine Rook and inputs like a1, a2, a3, a4, a5 .. and many more!)

upd
I've found "TODO.txt" in the repo and it looks very exciting!
Find all captures (empty board) sounds delicious If I understand what it means properly (when position on an invisible board is described in notation and user needs to list available captures for one side).

"Find the checks" has similar nuance. Pawns are not suggested for white to play and make a check. Imagine a pawn promotion to a knight which is a check. Missed opportunity :)

Also for "Find the checks" an option to have 0 black pieces (and only 1 black king)) makes sense (but is missing)

Sorry for this constant spam. I did not intend to annoy you. I'm just excited about the project and wanted to try everything out.

I understand that issues can be grouped or even described better. Sometimes the nitpick sounds the same for two exercises, and sometimes it looks the same but makes sense only for one of them.

Thanks a lot again for the suggestions! No worries at all.

The games with the pieces are initially limited to a smaller subset of all the available pieces in order to reduce the complexity and all the edge cases to be taken into account. The goal is to include them.

I'll try to raise the max and min values for those games.
