Fritz 7 did not have a clue >about that... Thanks, I came in around move 45 or so, I did not see the earlier announcements. Given that, I am wondering to what extent some of the R+h+f vs. R knowledge can be encoded in a way similar to (Heinz 2003) from Advances in Computer Games 10. Has anyone attempted something similar to Heinz's work for the class of endgame in which Crafty was in against Hiarcs? I agree Black was pressed to demonstrate the draw, especially since Crafty had such a tremendous time advantage.
