Go up one level in this thread
After having stepped through these end-games, I think that the problem is the horizon effect. The draws are so far away, that they cannot be seen. Which brings up an interesting question: Do endgame tablebase files contain draw data *as well as* checkmate data, so that when you are behind a draw could be discovered? This seems (to my feeble way of thinking) to be just as valuable as checkmate data. If not, it seems worthwhile to construct draw endgame tablebase files just as construction of checkmate database files is valuable.
