But the beauty is that MC saw the whole thing before reaching this position. There were other "safe" alternatives (a draw would have been enough), but he went for the jugular with a couple of minutes on the clock. So, are we just going to ignore that he went from a tablebase win to a draw in the se...

But the beauty is that MC saw the whole thing before reaching this position. Not sure he saw "the whole thing", as in.. the mate-in-12 or so if black plays Bf8 instead of Kh7 😆 Of course he calculated to the last move. IF Bf8 you play Rxf8+ followed by Rxf7+ Ke8 Rf8+ with an easy mate patte...

The fact that it happens, should be telling you clues or something about the bug itself.

They are about the science of computer Chess. Unlimited options - no constraints as in the basement/garage/home tournaments and we play full games so bugs in your endgame code will be revealed. :lol: Good one, thanks. Fact is your pathetic tournament has absolutely nothing to offer except for this ...

IBM had the full-blown deep blue machine, and then for testing, they spun off a single SP node box with the chess chips. They called this machine deep blue junior. A...
