; This computes the theme for the 9th World Chess Composing Tournament:
; "In a win study, the white queen moves, without capturing, checking or refuting
; a check, to a square where she is not guarded by Whtie and where she can immediately be
; captured by Black", (http://www.sci.fi/~stniekat/pccc/9_wcct.htm).
; It works by searching for positions where the queen moves to an empty square, and in that
; position there is no attacking piece, called $attacker, which either (a) is not pinned, or
; (b) is the only other piece on a ray with endpoints the black king and the moved white Queen.
; That is, one wants to eliminate positions where the White queen moves to a square where its only
; attackers are pinned to the black king by a piece other than that White queen.
