   It appears there's a new record for consecutive checks, as Russian
   Alexey Khanyan has managed to create a position with 51 in a row. You
   can find more details [1]here (item 378, dated March 25, 2008) on Tim
   Krabbé's excellent website. For those who find his replayable board
   visually unappealing (the white king in particular looks could just
   about pass for his ebon counterpart), you can replay it [2]here.
