If >I had paid a little more attention, I could've seen it too. Oh well. Well and I had luck because I know that position quite well (one of my beta-testers put it VERY often under my nose as long as Quark can solve it) - and Quark has still some troubles with it... due to sume luck it wants to play initially Be3 but without any idea how it can with this - it takes still more then a minute to discover it, Quark does love the connected passers so much that it does not like to give them away as long as it is quite sure that it gets something other - there is definitely more knowledge needed for endgames like that... as others do I must change somewhere in future to special routines for several engines, as long most things are not specialized much wrong estimations are done often - and I think to program endgames is little bit easier for me then to get better middlegame play - there are more clear rules for endgames then for any other phase of the game, I think.
