[D] 4nnk1/8/6b1/4BP2/2N1B1K1/8/8/8 b - - 0 1 I just came over this endgame position with Crafty 19.01 as analysis engine in CB-GUI. Crafty suggested 1...Bxf5+ with a score of 0.01. 1...Bf7 seems to be a simple draw. you probably told him 3 pieces against 2 pieces without pawns is draw, but I doubt this is a good idea in the endgame BBNK vs. NNK. You might be better informed but I would think this endgame is almost always a win and would even assume that it is almost always a win within 50 moves. If I were a tablebase-expert like you, I would fix it immediatly, whether it is important or not. In games against Fritz 8 Crafty will resign in not more than 8 moves: [Event "ATHLONXP"] [Site "ATHLONXP"] [Date "2003.01.5"] [Round "1"] [White "Fritz 8"] [Black "Crafty 19.01"] [Result "1-0"] [SetUp "1"] [FEN "4nnk1/8/6b1/4BP2/2N1B1K1/8/8/8 b - - 0 1"] [PlyCount "14"] 1... Bxf5+ 2. Bxf5 Ng7 3. Be4 Nge6 4. Kf5 Kf7 5. Bd5 Ke7 6. Bd6+ Kd7 7. Ke5 Ng6+ 8. Kf6 1-0
