If you search the CCC archives you will find the discussion. Amir started it and I originally disagreed with him, thinking that KQ vs KR would be very hard for the KQ side to win, since humans have a great deal of trouble with it, including GM players. However, to test Amir's claim that Junior could win it easily without the tables, I picked a bunch of random KQ vs KR positions, and played Crafty vs Crafty, with the KQ side having no tables, the KR side having tables. The KQ side won every time, which greatly surprised me. The games were not "perfect" according to the tablebases, but they did not slip over the 50 move rule either. > >Can Crafty be set up on one machine with 'KQ' using normal search and 'KR' using >DTC EGTs?
