Not to miss the point (as someone appears to have): the amazing sentence,
http://www.chessvariants.org/index/displaycomment.php?commentid=27482, uses
23 of the 26 letters only once and 3 twice in total 29 letters with
meaning! The other one, Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz, does the job
in 31. ''Quick brown fox, jump over the lazy dogs'' does cut the
classic one to 32, but that is the limit there. Since 32 can be
number of cv files in double chesses, there is representable by the
letters most of the piece-types as different and just a few wanted pairs,
the last fox-dogs one four 'o's, such as Lavieri's Overtaker or
Brown's Orphan. // CV-length Palindromes are still open, but only the
first 3 lines of the long palindrome already have these chess pieces: Man(courier chess), Bird,
Ram, Wall ('chess on a longer board' & ganymede), Car(novo chess), Bin(feature of 'in the bin'), Vassal(mediaeval pawn), Wolf(by Stiles).
