Computer outplay humans in endgames too. There are specific weaknesses computer have which sometimes show up, but it's not enough to prevent the large ELO superiority they have over humans.


I very much doubt that first part of your statement. I am confident that top humans will outplay top engines in pretty much all 8 piece endgames, especially if these are queenless. The engine weaknesses are just too obvious in the endgame.



I think you are wrong about this. Yes, it's possible to find positions which embarrass computers and conclude that they are really weak in the endgame, but what matters is how they play in general. I am talking about the point where both queens come off, you are probably focused on a few specialized cases.

P.S. Just out of curiosity, I was wondering whether you received my emails. I haven't received a single reply since February 12th.



About the email:

I am well past critical mass on my emails, the point where I have to let some go or I will be answering email all day long. I have been accused of not being able to write a short email so that is part of the problem. Sorry about missing your emails. I will look more carefully in the future.
