b5k1/7p/4p1pP/4P1P1/8/8/8/N5K1 w Here is a position based on a game between Cm6000 and Fritz 5.32. ( the recent game with the move d3 thread). I created this position to see if Chess programs have an accurate assessment of the relative values that the Bishop and Knight have. Material is equal yet all endgame authors I've read usually comment on positions like this in the following manner - "White has a huge advantage as all the pawns are on the same side of the board. Furthermore whites pawns cannot be attacked and once the powerfull white Knight reaches f6 the game will be over." How will programs eventually come to deal with assessing this position correctly? Will this be a kind of position that programs will never quite understand? Do any programs penalize the bishop here or conversely, give the Knight extra value in this position?
