Hello Danniel,

I do not know the answer myself so I can only speculate.  For instance Gary
Kasparov beat Deeper Blue in a game which went into a five piece endgame.
Deeper Blue has Ken Thompsons endgame disks.  Therefore, based on this the
endgame disks must not be perfect.

Please feel free to show me I am wrong.  I am only looking for the best
information.
