Go up one level in this thread


There was a position, too, which should
>take longest to capture the knight (66 moves):
>K7/8/7B/8/8/5k2/6n1/7B w - - 0 1
>wKa8,Bh1,h6/bKf3,Ng2

I guess that means KBBvsKN is a draw if there is even one position where it
takes more than 50 moves to win the N.
I wasn't aware that the 50 move rule came back with no exceptions.
The machine I have is not good enough for tablebases. Next year ... :)
