Kf4-f5 Kg7-h6 3. h3-h4 Kh6-g7 4. h4-h5 Kg7-h6 5. Kf5-f4 Kh6-g7 6. Kf4-e4 Kg7-h6 7. Ke4-d5 Kh6-g7 8. Kd5-c6 f6-f5 9. Kc6-d5 Kg7-f6 10. Kd5-d4 f5-f4 11. Kd4-e4 Kf6-g7 12. Ke4xf4 Kg7-h6 13. Kf4-e5 Kh6-g7 14. Ke5-d5 Kg7-h6 15. Kd5-c6 Kh6-g7 16. Kc6-d7 Kg7-f6 17. h5-h6 Kf6-f5 18. Kd7xe7 = MAT28 Depth: 26/37 00:00:07.67 8126kN (1059 KN/s, 0 splits, 0 aborts) (With the help of a little backwards analysis) If you want a _really_ embarrassing position, try: [D]8/1kP5/1P6/6p1/6Pp/5K2/8/8 w - - 0 1 1. Kf3-f2 Kb7-c8 2. Kf2-g2 Kc8-d7 3. Kg2-f3 Kd7-c8 4. Kf3-f2 Kc8-b7 5. Kf2-f3 Kb7-c8 = (5.67) Depth: 23/38 00:01:41.43 36269kN (358 KN/s, 0 splits, 0 aborts) Which zappa scores as almost +6, and is of course drawn. anthony
