Go up one level in this thread


These positions were from the end of a 15 1 game,
and Arasan was having to blitz.

In the 2nd position, Arasan switches and sticks to Kc3
after about 16 seconds with or without tablebases, and
gives a zero score after 45 seconds (I only have 5-man
tablebases). But it didn't have 16 seconds in this game.

This is the non-tablebase output:
ply 1.  Rg1+    0 seconds.      score:  -0.67   7 nodes.
ply 1.  Rg1+    0 seconds.      score:  -0.67   22 nodes.
ply 2.  Rg1+    0 seconds.      score:  -0.91   105 nodes.
ply 3.  Kc3     0 seconds.      score:  -0.84   1239 nodes.
ply 3.  Kc3     0 seconds.      score:  -0.84   1269 nodes.
ply 4.  Rg1+    0 seconds.      score:  -0.95   4243 nodes.
ply 4.  Rg1+    0 seconds.      score:  -0.95   5596 nodes.
ply 5.  Kc3     0 seconds.      score:  -0.84   15369 nodes.
ply 5.  Kc3     0 seconds.      score:  -0.84   21716 nodes.
ply 6.  Kc3     0 seconds.      score:  -0.73   55376 nodes.
ply 7.  Kc3     0 seconds.      score:  -0.84   172368 nodes.
ply 8.  Kc3     0 seconds.      score:  -0.61   472964 nodes.
ply 9.  Rg1+    1 seconds.      score:  -0.27   1161054 nodes.
ply 9.  Rg1+    2 seconds.      score:  -0.27   1495097 nodes.
ply 10. Rg1+    4 seconds.      score:  -0.28   3395123 nodes.
ply 11. Kc3     16 seconds.     score:  -0.02   11293567 nodes.
ply 11. Kc3     19 seconds.     score:  -0.02   13630877 nodes.
ply 12. Kc3     45 seconds.     score:  +0.00   31933032 nodes.
ply 13. Kc3     114 seconds.    score:  +0.00   79265656 nodes.

The 1st position (find Rb6) is a lot harder for Arasan.
