I've been working on adding checkmate detection to my Bangkok-based solution 
from last week. I added check detection, which was easy. Checkmate seems 
harder, unless I'm missing something. I need to figure out all possible moves 
for all pieces on the checked side, then make the move and re-check the board 
to see if the king is still in check. Is that what I have to do, or am I 
without clue?
