I thought long about that yeah.
a) it's easier to implement, that's why i have DTC right now
b) above argument can be countered as:
you will draw important games and a mistake i see at
icc a lot is that a program doesn't CARE to what EGTB endgame
he exchanges. So if it's *possible* to get to KNN KP then
it'll do it. Even if it's a mate in 221
and in chess it's not smart to assume they will make a big mistake
after which a mate in 221 becomes mate in 20.
For example i've seen a lot of computers blow KBR KR, but personally
i would not blow it, and i'm just 2275. Yeah in blitz perhaps, but
blitz is not my designpoint.
