Subject: Howard's endgame test suite.

Author: Robert Hyatt

Date: 05:52:16 02/28/00

Howard posted an interesting pawn ending test suite last week.  Vincent
asked me about position 4, where Bxg6 is supposed to win.  It seems that
cxb5 is also good enough to win in that position, based on a deep search
using tablebases.

Anyone interested in studying this position?  Here is my output (that I saved,
further searches were lost before I thought to save them):

               15     3:54   2.92   1. cxb5 Bb7 2. Rdd1 Rd8 3. Bb3 Rf6
                                    4. Re7+ Kc8 5. Be6+ Kb8 6. h4 Bf3 7.
                                    Rd2 Be4 8. Kf2 Bf5 9. Bxf5 gxf5 10.
                                    d7 Rxh6

I will try to post some analysis of Bxg6 as well...
