Go up one level in this thread

Cool bug.  If you want to see other bugs of this type, try setting up
positions where each side has only one minor piece, but there is a mate
in one.

For instance something like

5Bbk/8/7K/8/8/8/8/8 w - - 0 1

When I tried this a few years ago I found that several programs called
this a draw.  Maybe they still do.

Regarding 5-piece endgame databases, I have a whole bunch of them, but I
don't actually use very many on ICC, since the Alpha doesn't have enough
disk.

One of the ones I put on the Alpha, almost as a lark, was KP vs KNN, and
it has come in handy twice, which was twice more than I expected.
