There is a very good reason why Portugal and the Netherlands were so similar, in this regard!

Observability and APM are way, way older than depicted in this simplistic post!

It really doesn't tell what really happened: -This was only due to hydro production... -The amount of rain that fell was consistent along those days, which is definitely not usual. -The energy produced was mainly exported to Spain, but at ZERO or even NEGATIVE euros.

Does this help? Doesn't seem to me! And besides having to pay full price to the renewables producers (while exporting the same energy at ZERO), which amounts to a significant energy deficit, they are talking about even more H2 or whatever schemes??? This is the reason why Portugal has had one of the biggest rises of electricity prices in Europe over the last 15 years...

I believe you can also do it in a slightly different way. For each square on the board:

0 - encodes no piece in the square; at least 32 of them, so 32 bits (4 bytes)

1xxxx - xxxx being your encoding: encodes remaining pieces; at most 32 of them, so max 32 x 5 bits (20 bytes)
