Subject: DFritz-DJunior, KRBKBN endgame: the 50m effect

Returning to game 13:

121w:
8/4b2B/k7/6n1/8/8/4K1R1/8 w - - 0 121
wKe2,Bh7,Rg2/bKa6,Ng5,Be7 + w
... White converts in 40 moves

171w:
1k6/8/2R5/2nK4/8/4b3/8/5B2 w - - 0 171
wKd5,Bf1,Rc6/bKb8,Nc5,Be3 + w         ... White
... White converts in 20 moves

Assuming a look ahead of 8 moves (16 plies), DF was 12m away from announcing a
forced win as the 50m rule kicked in.

Interesting to speculate as to whether DF would have made further progress and
picked up the KRBKB or KRBKN win on its horizon.
