Go up one level in this thread



Tablebases/EGTs should not signal a win > 50m as a draw ... as it is up to the
defender to claim a draw.

I suspect the 50-move rule was not meant to stop a player achieving a
demonstrably achievable win.

The point about "who says the EGTs are correct - prove it" is fair.
Second-sourcing is the only way.

Some positions can be won with (as yet non-existent) "Depth By The Rule" EGTs
where DTM(ate) or DTC(onversion) EGTs would provide a 50m-draw-claim
opportunity.
