Unclear N+5P vs. B+6P endgame.

Post by Ajedrecista »

Hello to everybody:

Yesterday I played a LTC game (30' + 30"/move) at LiChess, although both my opponent and me spent little time to reach this position IIRC:

[d]8/3kb1pp/4pp2/1p1p4/1P1P1PP1/3NK2P/8/8 b - - 0 1

I was black (so, I was a pawn up) and had something like 37 minutes on the clock; my opponent had around 32 minutes. He/she offered a draw and I accepted... my endgame skills are limited, my playing style is dull and I am not ambitious at chess.

But today, giving short tries to some top engines, their evals were between -0.56 (Houdini 1.5a at depth 24/47, suggesting ..., Bd8) and -1.49 (SF 2.2.2 at depth 31/49, suggesting ..., g6). The end of the suggested mainlines by Critter 1.4, Deep Rybka 4.1, Houdini 1.5a, Komodo 3, Quazar 0.4 and SF 2.2.2 are not clear to me (only seeing the new positions, without analysing with engines), from my patzer POV.

Then, I tried the extreme cases (less eval and greater eval):

This position is reached by the last mainline that SF 2.2.2 calculated:

[d]8/8/2k2p1p/1pPpP2P/1P6/8/2K5/8 b - - 0 1

And then, SF evaluates it as -1.73 at depth 33/53 (obviously suggesting ..., PxP). But the passed pawns of both sides prevent both kings of make progressions.

-----------------------

This position is reached by the last mainline that Houdini 1.5a calculated:

[d]8/6p1/1bk2p1p/1p1ppP2/1P1P2P1/1NK4P/8/8 b - - 0 1

And then, Houdini evaluates it as -0.68 at depth 28/52 (suggesting ..., e4). The position is still unclear to me, there is like no real progress can be made.

So, the initial position should be a draw or a win by black? Please post about this endgame.

I am not an expert on computer chess, but I think that engines sometimes have problems in some endgames... maybe also here? I hope this position will be enjoyable for players and useful for programmers.

Regards from Spain.

Pure instinct move from last diagram.... Bxd4+. (Instead of e4 suggested by Houdini). Black should win the pawn ending. If white doesn't take the bishop, then... You'll be 2 pawns ahead.

With an extra pawn black almost certainly has a won game here starting with Bd6.

Don't think you can win this 1... Bxd4+ 2.Nxd4 exd4 3.Kxd4 Kd6 4.h4 would be draw as White replies Kd4 when Black King comes to d6 (after the waiting move h4 if necessary and having Black to play = mutual zugzwang).
In the diagram position if h6 pawn was on h4 then it's another story because White doesn't have waiting moves.
White could have tried 3.Kd3 (instead of taking d4 pawn) but Black replies ...Kc7 2.Kxd4 and Kd6 Zugzwang

This is the evaluation of Rainbow Serpent. Unlike the other programs, it does not seem to want to risk changing the pawnstructure / make pawn moves. The eval is good for black but as only one pawn is moved in the line I looked at (iteration 41 but it is still the same at iteration 43) and the pieces only take slightly better positions defending their pawns, I think Rainbow Serpent thinks it is a plus draw for black.

The program thinks it is important for the bishop to protect squares in fron of its pawns, squares that could become weak, for instance if the pawn gets backward, no defending pawns alongside. That is an extra measure to try to keep pawns on the color opposite of the bishop, and that is I think why it does not budge from square d6 :o the combined penalties for becoming a weak bishop are not really tuned though and may be a bit high. But anyway if it saw progress in moving the pawn structure it would probably do that if it could create some breakthrough. But there is not much information on what position(s) actually get rewarded with the high +2.20 score.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

FWIW I had a fairly old version of Stockfish play this out at 5 min / 40 moves and black won.

Hello again:

The idea of playing one engine again itself seems good. Houdini 1.5a w32 only manages a draw against itself (with Gaviota TBs), at 5'/40 moves:

[d]8/3kb1pp/4pp2/1p1p4/1P1P1PP1/3NK2P/8/8 b - - 0 1

Code: Select all

[Date "2012.05.26"]

[White "Houdini_15a_w32"]
[Black "Houdini_15a_w32"]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]

Thank you very much for your answers. This position has puzzled Houdini 1.5a evaluations, dropping from -1.19 (at 15.- ..., Ke6) to a draw. It is not easy to find a plan to get the full point.

I ran a shootout match from this position. RumbleMinze is my own weak engine (~ 1880 ELO). I think you know the other engines :D

Of course I know the other engines. Thank you for sharing your results and good luck with RumbleMinze (which I also know, although I have not played against it)!

I have tried a short experiment: I choosed Quazar 0.4 w32 and let play the position 100 times against itself... I know that 100 games at 1" + 0.1"/move is a ridiculous test, but something is something:

Code: Select all

Games Completed = 100 of 100 (Avg game length = 20.523 sec)
Settings = RR/32MB/1000ms+100ms/M 777777cp for 7 moves, D 150 moves/FEN:8/3kb1pp/4pp2/1p1p4/1P1P1PP1/3NK2P/8/8 b - - 0 1
Time = 2316 sec elapsed, 0 sec remaining
 1.  Quazar 0.4 w32 (A)       	49.0/100	7-9-84  	(L: m=9 t=0 i=0 a=0)	(D: r=15 i=24 f=44 s=0 a=1)	(tpm=99.1 d=13.3 nps=173316)
 2.  Quazar 0.4 w32 (B)       	51.0/100	9-7-84  	(L: m=7 t=0 i=0 a=0)	(D: r=15 i=24 f=44 s=0 a=1)	(tpm=99.2 d=13.3 nps=173284)
I used LittleBlitzer 2.5 (version 2.73 has been released recently). I got a draw ratio of 84%! It is more typical in English draughts (at human top level, because it should be 100% at computer top level, i.e. KingsRow vs. Cake) than in chess, but given the nature of the starting position I used, it is not rare for me.

I take a look on the PGN, which is like this:

Code: Select all

[White "Quazar 0.4 w32 (A)"]

[Black "Quazar 0.4 w32 (B)"]

[Result "0-1"]



0-1
It corresponds to the first game, but all are like this one... so I can not share games. Surprisingly, there are two white wins (at games 28 and 80), while black wins fourteen times (at games 1, 6, 15, 19, 24, 26, 32, 50, 73, 77, 92, 94, 97 and 99). If I called 'W' when white wins, 'B' when black wins and 'D' when there is a draw:

Code: Select all

BDDDDBDDDDDDDDBDDDBDDDDBDBDWDDDBDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDBDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDBDDDBDDWDDDDDDDDDDDBDBDDBDBD
That is, white had scored a very respetable 44% in this 100-game test. I hope no typos in this visual output; there are not two (or more) consecutive non-drawn games in the whole match!

Of course, it would be better if more self-tests are done with more engines (I mean, not only Quazar), with more games each test and a time control longer than the one I used. But I want to share what I got. Thanks to everybody that posted and will post their results in this topic.

Regards from Spain.
