Time control as I always use it, 40 moves in 2h plus 60 minutes for the rest of the game. MCP8 on MMX166 and WChess on K6-200. What astonishes me is that they reached depths of 17 and deeper in that positions and they do have problems. >I see that these program are weak at endgames. At the moment I can say that WChess endgame scores is not that bad as it is claimed. >black did a mistake when it played 39...Rd7+ and white could not see 44.h4 Some programs do find h4. >I expect that most human with 2100-2200 fide rating to find better moves in >these positions at tournament time control. >Uri Certainly. I would have expected such endgame handling by bean-counters but not by MCP.
