Go up one level in this thread


I assume that in this game, not the complete 5-piece tablebases were used. The
underpromotion indicates this IMO (KQR-KQ available, KQQ-KQ not). This problem
was reported recently in the CSS magazine, where the advice was given only to
use the *complete* 4-piece tb's, or the *complete* 5-piece tb's, otherwise
strange moves would be made sometimes (when the program tries to stay with
database material, instead of making an oviously better move).

(I couldn't check your example in detail.)
