Go up one level in this thread



You are right that I can't be sure that you have other than DTM EGTs.  That is
why I put a '(?)'.

If you have non-DTM EGTs, by all means let us know.  If you have DTR EGTs, which
are the definitive data on whether one can beat a k-move rule for some k, you
have an opportunity to write about that in the ICGA Journal or elsewhere.


It is you that is claiming that it is a draw under the 50-move rule:  I am
merely saying that you cannot be sure if you only have DTM EGTs.


I am not claiming that it is not a 50-move draw ... merely that you can't be
sure with non-DTR EGTs.

I don't therefore need to produce a line that beats the 50-move rule - though it
would be good to be able to give you the DTR-minimaxing line, I agree.

I hope that is all clear.
