Steffen, Goliath 1.5 instantly says it's a draw. Goliath is good at these type of positions as it has some sort of speculative draw heuristic which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't - in this case it works well. I assume, but don't know for sure, that it works something like - "if the last six moves (12 ply) were all checks and no captures then assume that it's a draw" Regards, Steve >Hi, > >this is a position from a blitz game Hossa - Sjeng: > >[D]7k/4QP2/7p/6rP/8/1K6/6r1/8 b > >For a human it's obvious that this is a draw.
