[D]8/k1p5/P7/8/2K4p/1p4rP/6P1/1R6 w - - 0 47 This is a possible position from the first game Gambit Tiger - IM Berg. While playing out different endings vs Tiger, I stumbled upon this little intermezzo. Previous moves were: 45.-Nxc4 46.Kxc4 h4 /diagram. Tiger here ponders on and plays 47.Rxb3, with an eval of -0.78 - just to find itself in the misery of -11.36, a single move later... I played out this ending on a PIII 800, 192 Mb hash, 1 hour per player. Would have made a great testposition, but after the better 47.Kb5 black just have to find 47.-Rg8! 48.Kc6 Rb8! which also wins. For a human it's easy to see that a move like 47.Rxb3 loses quickly for white, but Tiger - (and maybe other programs) - has clear problems here.
