FEN: 6k/1R/6Pp/3rbp1P/1P3B/6K/8/8 w
this is a position from Nisipeanu vs. Khalifman, Las Vegas, tie-break, game 2.
Question: which program can solve this position?
IMHO no program can do, but who knows, so I ask.
G. Kasparov calls it a mutual Zugzvang position and in the variant he gives the
white rook is hold in prison.
The best move G. K. gives is Kf3 !!
Of course all the null-move programmers will call it a study and studies never
occur in real games ...
But here it happend.
Kind regards
Bernhard
