JAFM What is the solution? My engine does not seem to find it in any reasonable amount of time. Unfortunately I do not have any endgame tables, though, so this may take longer(?). Here's my results: ... 27 -444 33.0 4426764 FL 27 -241 39.8 5468326 h4g5 h6h5 h1g2 h5g4 g2f1 g4f4 f1f2 f4g5 f2g3 f7f5 g3f3 f5f4 f3f2 [TT] 28 -303 40.5 5549429 FL 28 -200 134.5 18599366 h4g5 h6h5 g5g6 f7g6 f4f5 g6f5 h1g1 h5g4 g1g2 f5f4 g2f2 g4h4 f2f3 h4g5 f3f2 g5g4 f2g2 g4f5 g2f3 f5e5 f3f2 e5e6 f2f1 e6f5 f1g2 f5e4 g2f2 e4e5 [TT] 29 -251 136.3 18835230 FL 29 -217 224.0 31144660 h4g5 h6h5 g5g6 f7g6 f4f5 g6f5 h1g1 f5f4 g1f1 h5g4 f1f2 g4h4 f2f3 h4g5 f3f2 g5g4 f2g2 g4f5 g2f3 f5e5 f3f2 e5e6 f2e1 e6f5 [TT] I failed low at every depth from 15-30 and never got a score anywhere near draw. What do others see in this position (with EGTB turned off)? Scott
