First of all the ending is a disguised queen ending, 14 ply away. I think a lot of programs will find the move 1. Kg3 just as an holding action. The critical move is 2. Kh4! [D]8/6p1/7p/p4k2/P7/6K1/1P5P/8 w - - 0 2 And then 3. b4! [D]8/8/6pp/p4k2/PP5K/8/7P/8 b - b3 0 3 Five man tablebases will tell the program that a queen trade draws. But will they evaluate the position correctly, given that the white pawn is in an optimum position at h2 (lots of stalemate resources). MvH Dan Andersson
