Subject: Selection of tablebase moves in the case of remis

Author: Poschmann

Date: 01:52:18 10/28/01


I am currently preparing some endgame lessons in my chess club. I am using
tablebases to prove my solutions. In most positions there are more then
one move to stay within the same level (win, remis, lose). But some of the
threads are very easy for humans and some other are very dangerous. Any ideas to
sort the moves, even if they have the same tablebase results?
How can I find out the most easy move for the defender?
How can I find out the best move for the attacker (=most dangerous move for
the defender)?

Two ideas are obviously:
1. If the position ist remis and one side has a material advantage, the attacker
   should hold this advantage and the defender should reduce it.
2. The attacker should go into a thread with more possible loosing moves for
   the defender, the defender should do the reverse.

Any other ideas?
