Subject: KR against KQ is draw without tablebases

I tried to let Chessmaster 9000 play against itself in endgame KRKQ. The side
KR with tablebases and the side  KQ without. KQ-side wasn’t nearer checkmate in
move 50 than in move 1, even with 3 minutes per move.  It is rather amusing to
look at. I think that it is impossible for a computer to solve without special
knowledge or tablebases as in the case KBNK.
