Well, after Nc5, Hiarcs, Fritz, and Rebel all have >White with a clear advantage. > I do not trust any program's evaluation in the endgame, unless they are hitting the tablebases. The ending is the weakest part of current engines (as ever). The reason that programmers do not pay more attention to it is that only very strong players can make it to an endgame against top programs (all the others usually lose in the middlegame). But once in the ending, the programs can play any kind of moves. Not many outright blunders, but lots of purposeless passive moves.
