I think that the main target of problems is to find the right move
Yace found the right move in less than an hour

(Blass, Tel-aviv 28.01.2002)


Yace failed high at depth 16 and I stopped it before finishing the fail high
problem.

I also did some previous analysis when yace did not learn from it and I expect
based on the previous analysis to see a big fail high at depth 16 with score of
only 1.xx for black.

Here is the previous analysis
pay attention that -4.87 was seen only at depth 10 and -4.47 was the first score
that was seen at depth 11 so I guess that depth 10 is eqvivalent to 15 when
depth 11 is eqvivalent to 16.

I also suspect that seeing the stakemate idea is not enough to see the draw.
