Subject: Re: Tablebases and 50 moves rule

Go up one level in this thread


The endgame databases don't contain values that are in accord with the FIDE
rules.

Some have proposed that the FIDE rules be changed, but FIDE seems insistent that
the tables be changed.

Some programmers have suggested that the rules be changed for tournaments.

I think that the FIDE rules are fine.
