Arena 3.5.1 - adjudication of a game by endgame tablebases

[Norbert Raimund Leisner]

Hello,

is the adjudication of a position evaluation (1:0, 1/2:1/2 bzw. 0:1) only influenced by Arena GUI respectively with the use of endgame tablebases e.g. Nalimov too?

EXAMPLE: an endgame position like: Kd1, Bb1, Be7 - Kd4, Ne4 that is won in 71 moves (if White begins) and Nalimov EGTBs are used http://www.shredderchess.com/online-che ... abase.html

Is such a position between two engines (that support Nalimov tablebeases) played on further 50 moves or recognized (immediately) by Arena Interface as "drawn game"?

(condition: a valid path to Engines-Engines Management etc. exists)

Best wishes,
Norbert

A tablebase draw will be adjudicated as a draw as soon as such a position is reached on the board, if the correct TB adjudication setting is switched on.

As far as I'm aware, Arena uses Gaviota TBs for adjudication purposes; at least that's how I have it set up.

Best,
CL

If Arena adjudiction triggers, game is halted.
