2 questions here.
1). Are the engines right?
2). If not, what makes them do it?
comments on Q.1). Maybe with 5 or 6 piece endgame tablebasses, they would play
different? Or are we talking about the top engines and all of them? Do computers
not give good follow up when prodded?

Comments on Q.2). We should know how to correct this innacuracy, andsimilar
ones. It might make a critical difference in some situations.
