I recently received a game via email that Tristram played against Gromit. Tristram had 1 queen, 1 rook and 3 pawns vs a lone king, and allowed Gromit a stalemate. I've tried and tried to reproduce this, but can't seem to get Tris to replay this move. My first thoughts were that I should've implemented that stalemate guard in my endgame eval. I read about this in the "Chess 4.5" chapter of "Chess Skill in Man and Machine." Doing this is painfully slow, though. I ran some suites with it last night, and it's ugly. Seems to me the stalemate should've been caught in the search. Do any of you have a stalemate guard in your evaluation? Has anybody tried this and tossed it out? --- James
