[D]6k1/R4b2/8/4K3/8/8/3B4/8 w - - 0 6 >There are programs without tablebases but can any of them win this position vs a >program with tablebases? The position is *technically speaking* won for white. So any reasonable program can do it. The question really is: will it be possible to mate black within 50 moves when white plays Kd6 instead of the "defective" Rxf5? I think it's clear that either white can force black to swap a rook, and in that case it no doubt will be a mate in 15 or so. Any complete 5-piece tablebase can tell. If the swap will not happen - black choses to run around with the king - it's clear that white even can mate black faster. Let's say - ummmm - mate in 12.352 :) ? J. http://www.infoplaza.tk
