IM Giardelli,S 2438 - GM Andersson,U 2640
There is a tournament played in Argentine right now. Among the participants
you notice, among others, GM Larsen, GM Panno and GM Andersson.
The link is here: http://www.utopiasdepinamar.com.ar/magistral/
The above position is from the 9th round, where Ulf shows his technique
and skills in a double rook ending. This man can make things look easy!
Test: This might be an interesting position for programs to play out.
A little indicator of how your program handles these endings.
Actually it's possible to make a tourney, with several programs,
played from the above position.
Giardelli-Andersson went:
Giardelli - Andersson
Double Rook ending, 2001
A nice example of GM Andersson's technique and skill in endgames. Black is
better here and Andersson gives his opponent no mercy. 1...a4 2.Rd3 Rc2 3.Kf1

White cannot avoid further material loss.
