Subject: An endgame tablebase puzzle ?

Author: Gordon Rattray

I was recently browsing a summary file for endgame tablebases, from Robert
Hyatt's site.  For KQQQ (White) vs KB (Black), it claims that there is 1 drawn
position with White to move.  But it's quite a puzzle to figure out what that 1
position actually is.  I'm assuming this figure of 1 takes into account symmetry
(rotations and reflections), so there will be multiple "real" board solutions
all based on the same structure.

I've not yet solved it.  Can anyone here figure it out?  Or can it somehow be
obtained from the associated TB files?

If nothing else, I'd just like to check that I'm reading into the summary data
correctly! :-)

cheers

Gordon
