Subject: Endgame Databases

Hello group,

I was reading an article in the USCF magazine by Gabriel Schwartzman GM.  He
states that if I have a 5 piece end game cd-rom (Ken Thompson) then I could
never beat the computer because it will play "perfect" end game chess.

I tend to disagree with this. Gary Kasparov beat Deeper Blue and they had Ken
Thompson's endgame disks.  So it is reasonable to assume the endgame databases
are not perfect.

Please feel free to tear my thoughts and theories apart all I want to find out
is the best information in this regard.

Ted
