Subject: Endgame Position

Author: Chris Taylor

Date: 10:27:33 09/26/99


In Chess Engings for the Practical Player this position is given

5k2/3R4/4K1p1/5p1p/5P1P/6P1/1b6/8 w - - 1 0

The move given to win is g4!! Rook against minor piece page 223

Hiarcs with more than 4 hours can not find this winning move?  Hiarcs has gone
past 504 million positions and likes Rd2?!  It has probed 218 times in the
tablebase?

Does g4 win, or is the aforementioned book out of date in the light of modern
workings erm Tablebases?
