-Interesting Questions

so KBN VS KRR, can they win? When will all this 6 pieces be finished and I dont
mean those with the pawns, but I would suggest to Eugene to make the most
important endings, like: RPPKRK, IS THIS REALLY A DRAW? Will be ever see perfect
moves for this?

SO KNNN is a draw, but KNNB VS rook is also a draw?
KRNN VS KR I ALSO THINK IS A DRAW what about
KRBN VS KR, i think we have a win there in over 200 moves? same with KRBB?

Hey if this happens I guess it should be played in real matches, sorry, a win is
a win, sure there can be a break, but play must continue...

NOW, KNN V K, IS  A DRAW, but dont u think that is A HUGE INJUSTICE IN CHESS, I
MEAN THAT'S 6.25 POINTS, DONT U THINK IN THAT CASE THERE SHOULD BE A NEW RULE,
LIKE ADDING A PAWN OR A BISHOP?

So, tell me KNNN VS KB, IS THIS A WIN? how many moves?

Ken Thompson's endings, I know they are different format from Nalimov's but I am
wondering, they both used different methods in finding the perfect moves?
