[Scidvspc-users] looking for ideas for example queries for the CQL help page...

[Lionel <hay...@gm...>]

I'm working up a bunch of examples for the CQL search help page and 
thought I'd solicit ideas from interested parties.

The CQL reference manual already includes many example queries oriented 
toward compositional themes.  In addition to a number of simple CQL 
constructs, I'm looking at compiling a decent sample of queries for 
tactical maneuvers and classic positional themes which one might find in 
an OTB game.

For example, I've assembled queries for a smothered mate, skewered king, 
answering check with mate, pins, fianchettoed bishops, discovered check 
answered by discovered check, overloaded pieces, knight outposts, 
deflections, decoys and more.  I welcome ideas for both static 
positional queries as well as dynamic relational queries outside of the 
chess composition domain.
