A GM would have seen it but I cannot. well then there's something wrong with the engine (see also my comments to Bob Hyatt); indeed i've seen sometimes in endgames with unequal bishops the engine had +3 or so but couldnt win, but they are rare, and with better probing in the egtb's its getting even more rare. Yet, a positional evaluation of an engine taking into account such effects (fortresses, etc.) could be very helpful; some engines are better than others in this respect, its not only a matter of search depth. Some food for thought for programmers, maybe.. jef
