The Intellectualism.Org Question Of The Day for
September , 2003:

For King-and-Pawns vs. King-and-Rooks, who wins?

The King-and-Rooks. Even playing badly -- losing a Rook -- I was able to checkmate ChessMaster, even giving it the first move. Materially, the side with the Rooks is up by two, but the computed score is more like four or five.

A more interesting Question would likely be, For King-and-Pawns vs. King-and-Rook, who wins?
