Oh, there are enough squares to separate 16 pieces. For instance, if we can get one player's pieces onto a1 c1 e1 g1 b3 d3 f3 h3 a5 c5 e5 g5 b7 d7 f7 h7, then they'll be separated.<p> However, 8x8 doesn't seem like enough room for a <b>playable</b> game of SIC. Allowing diagonal adjacency would help a little, and so would extra ranks and/or fewer pieces.<p> If anyone tries my SIC ideas out, let us know how it goes.
