Go up one level in this thread


No EGT available as Rob says but ...

a)  Peter Karrer produced subsets of KQPKQP~, the '~' denoting a variant of
chess allowing P=Q promotions only ... but his subset does not include
KQP(h)KQP(h).

b)  the pawns block each other so there's no question of a conversion from a
6-man endgame

c)  Lars Rasmussen's tailored-EGT approach to these blocked-pawn kinds of
situation may be relevant.  See "Secrets of Pawn Endings" published recently by
'Everyman' ... anyone seen a review of this?
