Go up one level in this thread


Just my guesses.
1. Tablebases are playing out mates in 30/longer when older programs would
resign.  Sometimes this is done in only a few seconds.
2. Also the tablebases may play out correctly to a 50 move draw when they may
have lost earlier in the past.
3. People are turning the resign early/late option off to let the game take it's
true course.

Maybe only an in depth study of the databases would tell the truth.
