John Nunn has shown that perfect tables can't be memorized because it goes
possibly over 150 moves in each variation. Each different, of course, depending
on the concrete position. N endgames are most difficult. Note also that super
computers needed weeks to make their calculations. But human players could never
find the rational in such long lines no matter how long they could study. All
facts here based on John Nunn from his endgame books and articles!
Why humans can't read the perfect moves too in books they kept in their pockets?
