I remember from a previous post that tiger did not know something similiar(KBPP vs K that is a draw) and I remember that you found a simple way to teach tiger similiar things when the number of pawns is not important without being slower. I need to see the game to have an opinion about what happened but it seemed that there was something that tiger did not know well if a human with rating of 2200 could get a draw against it because I expect 2200 players to lose against computers in most of the games(of course it is also possible that the human played a very good game) Uri
