Go up one level in this thread



Ok, thanks for contributions.

We have some recollections of very deep forced-mate announcements and a
significantly deep forced-mate (from the Leiden tournament) which was presumably
followed-up and won ... I haven't been able to check yet.

The caution that (e.g. Fritz') announcements of 'mate in N' do not imply that N
moves are required.  I have noticed this, but I'm happy if the search-engine
does not optimise known wins but tries to bottom-up less clear positions
instead.

There are some examples of studies - thought to be draws - which were in fact
very deep wins.  See, e.g., John Roycroft's book on Kasparyan's studies (last
appendix).
