Blind To Draw

Post by kingliveson »

Rybka and IvanHoe, to name a couple, can't see this is draw:




Even at this point (Komodo fails here too):
PAWN : Knight >> Bishop >> Rook >>Queen

Seeing the actual draw is not so easy. Crafty evaluates either as near zero however. I think about .4 for the first, and .08 for the last one...

But statically evaluating either as a draw is beyond dangerous because you can move a single piece and change the outcome...

computers use endgame tb's now, so it doesn't matter.
