Subject: Re: Endgames, best handle by which program?

Go up one level in this thread


The 1997 CCR Chess Software Awards lists Hiarcs 6 and Genius 5 as the
best endgame programs. The LCT II test has Genius 4.0 clearly ahead
of the other programs with a score of 67% on a PP200 with 16 MB RAM.
It seems that the Genius programs have more endgame knowledge, with
or without 4-piece endgame databases. Of course, the real test would
involve actual games against humans under tournament conditions.
Unfortunately, I've never seen any statistics about endgame results
in human-computer tournaments.
