Go up one level in this thread


I have to agree that it is most often correct to assume that it is a draw. But
that was not my point. The point is that it is an inadmissible heuristic and you
did say that it was a draw or better for black. And that is just not true is it?
Christophe does/did something similar with the two knights (and a host of other
endgames), maybe you do to? But I restate that it is not a fact that KRBkrpp is
draw or win for black! And you actually did say that. Comments, or maybe a Mea
Culpa!?
