Subject: Longest sequences of moves for all Nalimov 3- to 5-man for download!

For some articles in the German Computerchess magazine "ChessBits"
titled "Endings at its best" I
have outplayed for all Nalimov 3- to 5-man (all in all 110 files) one
of the longest sequences to mate. A work, which was done for the first
time. Many interesting results appeared or did you know, that

the longest 5-man is a mate in 127?

there is a 5-man ending in which white is forced to underpromote his
only pawn to a bishop in move 3, but the game will last just 95 moves
more?

there exists a position, in which for a period of 228 plies no piece is
captured?

many of the sequences of moves improve existing endgame studies?


The URL for the files and an introduction text (both English and German)
with some statistical
informations is

Have great fun in discovering a part of the beauty of endgames!
