The tablebases or the usage which comes with Tiger are not good if it can find an endgame with only pawns on the board while it could have find in the tablebases a rook queen King King rook would be quicker it still plays for the pawn endgame. So sofar endgame tables and nullmove pruning are still not optimal. If you want a test position for your program make it play the Tarasch or other positions with isolany corectly. this needs a lot more atention then number 10002 mate in 15. Playing strenght should be number1 (And I don't mean for program a versus program b but general playing strenght ) And only then test poitions If it doesn't have the playing strenght it never will come in this sort of test positions anyways. Because this needs to be prepared and does not come out the black hole. Gambit Tiger2 and Junior where sofar the programs who had most chance to actualy come in this kind of test positions Maybe Christophe might find a way to bring the old gambit tiger style back Maybe Amir finds a way to make the search less risky. It also would be intresting if more programmers would build to such a style That might be one of his and many enduser wishes for 2003 Mery christmas and a hapy new year. Marc
