Many thanks for your contribution. I saw the Hyatt site and had bought from the
chessbase the dvd collection. From a practical point of view I have been
interested in a programmes handling of opposite coloured bishop endings. Fritz
often goes 1 or 2 pawns up and plays for ages without realising it is draw
despite a very healthy plus. The 6 man kbppkb could well throw some light on
this in the same way that krppkr has done. Interesting that a win can go out to
82.
It will be interesting if the Hyatt site adds this to the list.
