Subject: Long tablebase wins and the 50 move rule...

Author: Paul Byrne

I've been looking at endgame tables for ICC's Losers chess lately and
discovered that a number of "obvious" draws are really wins.  91 moves
being the longest so far.  Well past the 50 move draw rule.

Question is, how do people deal with this (or not deal with it) in their
programs?

For those interested, white to move and win in 91 moves:

[D]6N1/8/4k3/8/2p5/2P5/8/K7 w - - 0 1
