To use them together (DTM and DTZ), do you first check the DTM, then if there are multiple moves that have the same DTM, you select the one with the lowest DTZ? I wonder if someone could create a kind of conspiracy number type EGTB, where each move has a conspiracy number, and you select the one with the highest conspiracy number. You could create all kinds of conspiracy numbers. Numbers for captures, checks, mobility, whatever might be useful. This could lead to EGTBs that not only play the shortest mate, but also (or maybe instead of) play the line that is most difficult to play for the opponent. This would help in trying to turn theoretical draws into wins, and losses into draws or wins. You'd have to find the correct thing to measure though for your conspiracy numbers. I wonder if you could use the DTM to EGTBs to compute how many winning paths there are from a position and use that as a measure of how difficult it is for the opponent. Glad to hear you are going to publish about this. Be sure and let us know when you do! Can't wait to read it.
