I don't think it is better in >endgames. It has several important pieces of information totally missing. >I have posted a game or two showing serious ones. My impression was based on some of thorsten games that he posted here. Here are two games when Crafty lost in the endgame when the evaluation of it was close to equal during the endgame. These games are 2 of the 12 games that were posted by thorsten some weeks ago. Crafty lost at least one more game in the endgame but i prefered to post only these 2 games because it is clear that crafty's evaluation was of something that is close to 0 at move 40. The problem in the second game seems to be null move problem and Crafty was in zunzwang at move 77.
