Post subject: interesting pawn race position Posted: Sun Dec 14, 2008 7:50 pm

From a recent online game:

[D] 8/8/5p1k/1p1pp2P/pP3PK1/P1P5/8/8 b - f3

d4 wins. Arasan 11.1 has trouble with this (thinks it's only a draw). 10.4 solves it, although it takes a while (it only switches to d4 at ply 19). 10.4 has some pawn race code that is not currently in the 11.0 tree.

The commercials and Crafty 21.x seem to have no difficulty here.
