Go (game), 33 stones, 73 intersections
If domino and chess are acceptable, then this. It can't be too golfy on a full 19x19 Go board. So I used small rectangular boards. The input is whether the stones marked 1 and 2 are present. The output is whether black wins. It uses area scoring, 0.5 komi, ...
Input: Two decimal integers. These can be given to the code in standard input, as arguments to the program or function, or as a list.
Output: Their sum, as a decimal integer. For example, the input 5 16 would lead to the output 21.
Restrictions: No standard loopholes please. This is code-golf, ...
Given a list of N non-negative numbers, output those numbers with each left-padded by spaces to a length of N. (Alternatively, return a character/string list.) You may assume that N is greater than or equal to the number of digits of the largest number in the list. Trailing spaces are allowed in ...

You read that pretty easily didn't you?
Good!
Now for the challenge:

Chess/mediocre chess player in endgame, 70 pieces
Inspired by that domino answer, I decided another game should have this honor.
Note that I took a few rules for how the pieces move. Because I don't feel like studying the optimal moves for every situation, the rules for whites move is simple: S...
By physical analogs, I mean solutions written via objects in the physical world. Specifically, I am referring to a couple solutions to this challenge (including my own and a couple others).
Should we allow solutions like this?
If so, where is the cut off?
Should they publish a language spec...

Assume you're writing in one method, (or whatever you call them) with 3 inputs. The first string, a character that contains a '+', '-', '*' or a '/' symbol, and the second string.
Example in Java:
public String strCalc(String str1, char symbol, String str2) {
//code...
}
