Go up one level in this thread


I think we have had enough threads on this, and seen proof enough of
it, i've never said this about Tigre and never will.

I'll not say it from the latest Fritz versions either and most likely
not from rebel 11 also if it's improved and using nullmove nowadays.

Position d4-d5 in the POS LCT testset is not
at all positional. it's tactical you play d5, then black captures
it, and you hurry up the rook till it gotta leave then d5 is hung.

That's tactical not positional. Testset makers aren't completely objective
also...

But please answer a question to me. If you just use nullmove in a program,
no other forms of pruning, how many plies do you need to solve bs2830
position Kg3!! Short-Timman Linares 19xx
