Subject: Endgame position

Author: Kai Skibbe

The following position is from a game between
Rebel 9.0 28 MB HT and Fritz 5.03 64MB HT on
a PC with a AMD K6-200.

WKh3, Rh6, Pg3,g2
BKc5, Rb6, Ph7
White to move

Rebel 9.0 as white was unable to find the winning
exchange Rxb6 in 5 minutes. He played Rxh7 and after
some moves the game became a draw.
I have tested the same position with Shredder 2.0 64MB
and Genius 5.0 32 MB. Both programs didn´t see the winning
exchange in 10 minutes and played the same move as
Rebel (Rxh7).
I´m not sure if the game could be a win for white after
Rxh7, but after Rxb6 the win should be clear.

Does any chessprogram play the move Rxb6 and see the win ?
The evaluation should be at least 4 pawn, if the program
has understood the position.

Why is this position so difficult for programs ?


Best regards
Kai
