Subject: Re: Helpless King Theme, Svidler position

Go up one level in this thread


There is a Svidler - van Wely game that reached a position with a similar theme.
I had this position in the "Hard" file, since no program solved it until now.
This time Crafty didn't find the winning move, which I found a bit disappointing
(one gets easily spoiled), but Fritz did. I should have left Deep Fritz compute
it for one or two more plies to see the PV, but if it picked Rxe5 it had to be
for the good reasons. Now I'm trying with Deep Shredder beta. After 42 minutes
it doesn't see Rxe5 yet. Same hardware as before, the dual P933 with 512MB hash.
