2 testpositions

Post by Spliffjiffer »

there are a lot of testpositions that the engines of today are not able to solve at all..we all know that...the 1. position should be solvable for engines (i strongly recommend 6-men TB's) of our days...i analysed that position some time ago extraordinary deep and am absolutely convinced that the given move is the only drawing move that exists !


[d]8/R7/4kpp1/2n4p/7P/p5P1/3N1PK1/r7 w - - 5 1
only move 1.Nc4 !! (draw)..i think your engines will have some trouble to find that move...i dont have any 6-men TB's installed, so im curious how long it takes to find it for your monsters :-)

the 2. position is an "engine-killer"-position so dont wonder when your engines will be clueless and give 0.00 or sth like that...i wonder how long it will take until engines will solve such positions, therefore i give 2 mainlines along with it that should help to recognize that there is no way out:
[d]7q/b1p5/1p1Npkb1/pPP2ppP/P1P5/3B2P1/5P1R/K3R3 w - - 0 1
1. hxg6 Qxh2 2. Rxe6+ Kxe6 3. g7 Qh1+ 4. Kb2 Qa8 5. Bxf5+ Kf6 6. Nc8 Kxg7 7. c6 Kf6 8. Bg4 Ke5 9. Kc3 Ke4 (9. .. Qb8 10. Kd3 Qa8 11. Bd7 Qb8 12. Ke3 Qa8 13. Kf3 Kf6 14.

Kd2 Kd4 11. Be6 Ke5 12. Bd7 Kd4 13. f4 gxf4 14. gxf4 Ke4 15. f5 Ke5 16. Ke3 Kf6 17. Kf4 Bb8 18. Kg4 Ba7 19. Kh5 Bb8 20. Kh6 Ba7 21. Kh7 Qb8 22. Kg8 Qa8 23. Kf8 Bb8 24. Ke8 Ba7 25. Kd8 Bb8 26. Be6 Ba7 27. Kxc7 Bb8+ 28. Kxb6 Bg3 29. c7 *

this is just an example how clueless engines can be, many other people can provide (and provided, this example does not came from me) tons of similar positions were still only human brains can solve the task ;-)

I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

He means he saw he 2nd position in the original post before. The one you mention is position #2 in Vincent's test suite.

Stockfish 9 solves that one pretty quickly.

That's a very nice position, Peer. Thanks!

only move 1.Nc4 !! (draw)..
Are you quite sure, 1.Nc4(!) draws indeed?

Here is some output after backtracking several lines with full Syzygys leading to won 7 some positions now and then yet, starting from and coming back to the position after 1.Nc4:

[d]8/R7/4kpp1/2n4p/2N4P/p5P1/5PK1/r7 b - - 0 1

Analysis by Houdini 6.03 Pro x64-popc:

-+ (-4.19) Depth: 38/105 00:13:14 27940MN, tb=93380978

Louis Zulli's CFish- output here

http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopi ... 00&t=66670

shows lower evals and no real progress in the line, but as for Houdini's one it's not quite the same, as you see.

hi Louis,
thx for confirming Nc4 as best move...as im interstetd in the time that was needed to find it...does "time 74088" means that C-fish needed 74088 ms or how to translate in seconds ?

hi Peter,
no im not absolutely sure that 1. Nc4 (!) is a draw !...im "absulutely" sure that every alternative will loose instead (almost my whole analysis-time i invested for this..after finding 1. Nc4 i ran out of breath)...your line looks familiar to me and i thought its a draw...if we can figure out that even 1.Nc4 is loosing for white then i have (with great pleasure) to revise a former post of mine :-)...ill investigate later more deeply, thank you very much for putting this in question ! :-)....1.Nc4 still stays the best move i this position and the only hope for a draw !

No doubt about 1.Nc4 as best move, yet end of Houdini's output- line shows rising evals with full Syzygys, not meaning a thing of course, there's much to much shuffling within output- line, cause with full Syzgys loaded Houdini runs out of hash having to go backward about 15 moves at least.

But the lines leading to this backtracking- output now and then as said gave won tbs- positions now and then sooner, round move 15 already most of my trials.

Just wanted to give my doubts, can't prove it drawn nor won neither.
