Go up one level in this thread


Here's a good one I just found today in Franks's little test tournamet:

Leila - King of Kings

[D]6B1/1pp3p1/3p4/n1k2P2/2P3P1/4K3/8/8 b - - 0 40

I think black already lost here, but it takes a very long time for a program to
know this without good "passed pawn unstoppable" or "strong advanced connected
passed pawns" knowledge. For example, Crafty, which has this knowledge, starts
off with a negative score but most other engines stay positive for a while.
