Thank you Kirill. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the human analysis. The
comments I posted was the only text included with the endgame positions. I
searched my chessbase and chess assistant databases and found the game in
question (Eliskases-Capablanca, Semmering 1937) but no comments were included
:(

I may try this same setup on other positions. Do you have any specific ones in
mind ?
