I am delighted, the second pos today, I could remember. (Typically, I cannot
remember chess positions, well)

I think, another interesting test would be, to try

[D] k7/7p/8/2nK4/8/6b1/8/8 w - - 0 1

with all those engines, that saw a draw score rather fast. (I suggested this
position earlier). Now, Kxc5 will not win anymore. Only the B moved. Do all the
engines, that saw a draw score fast now show a losing score fast?

Dieter
