mate in infinity[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

I recently stumbled back across a question from a few years ago:
http://mathoverflow.net/questions/63423/checkmate-in-omega-moves
It asks how complicated a forced mate position can be on an infinite board. Really interesting stuff IMO. (See the fourth-to-last paragraph of the question for an example on what the infinite-ordinal stuff means in this context.)
