Test position

Post by IWB »

Hi all

Nice position. Some show a very confident 0.00 just a few a high eval for white. I think its won for white. Is it a Zugzwang/Nullmove problem ?!

Deep Sjeng 2.5 is certain about its eval and move. The trial version is installed here as an UCI engine in Shredder 9.1 GUI, single core Athlon 2009 MHz, the output is in Dutch because that is how I set output in Shredder GUI.

Deep Sjeng behaves like a fully fledged UCI engine even in the trial version, has access here to 5 men Nalimov tablebases. The output in its own GUI is a bit limited; just one line and I can't copy the engine output, the Deep Sjeng GUI that comes with the program seems more suited for playing games against the human owner of the program.

No.

It's an "I want to sell Shredder problem".

It's a very bad position......for you.

If Shredder thinks this is a draw, I would worry for you....but it would not last long.....in fact the moment has already past.....quickly......

Thx 4 the game.

I tried with Deep Sjeng 2.5 too and I am not sure now but I think to remember it shows a 0.00. My problem is that I can not verify this because the engine is no longer working. I passed the 0.00am line and after one day of installation it tells me my 30 day period has expired. I will check tomorw.

But, yes, your game came to the same conclusion as I.

Thx and bye

????????????????

Whats up - what have I done wrong? I post a position, nothing else, and you ... I have not mentioned ANY engine why are you so agressive in your tone? Can you please give me your email? I might consider to ask in future if it is appropriate to post a message here.

And you can be happy, Shredder never thinks that it is a draw so you dont have to worry, not even for a moment.

Have a nice day and kind regards

Hello again

Prior to my post I allways analysed from the game of course, so when I tried to analyse the position out of my previous post again I found out what the problem is:

With Nd7 for black a position is reached for the third time in the game - but with different rights for the next move (black/white).

Because UCI is sending the whole game to the engine some interpret this as 3rd repetition but some see that there are different rights to move.

What is the official FIDE rule saying about this?

Here is the complete game for those who want to try by themself:

If Shredder thinks this is a draw, I would worry for you....but it would not last long.....in fact the moment has already past.....quickly......
????????????????

Whats up - what have I done wrong? I post a position, nothing else, and you ... I have not mentioned ANY engine why are you so agressive in your tone? Can you please give me your email? I might consider to ask in future if it is appropriate to post a message here.

And you can be happy, Shredder never thinks that it is a draw so you dont have to worry, not even for a moment.

Have a nice day and kind regards
Ingo
Correct me if I am wrong but you said.....
Some show a very confident 0.00 just a few a high eval for white.
You have not done anything wrong except that you have not said who "some" are and who the "just a few" were.

What's the point if you dont tell anyone which engines?

The "few" as you describe them, are rather many......if not all. Nor have you told us why nullmove or zugszwang may be the issue.

You have not supplied any analysis Ingo. You can't blame me for thinking you posted for another reason.

Please explain what it is you find interesting about this position supported by some evidence.

Your problem is just that you obviously allways think people are bad. That is pitiable!

Regarding the asked analyses read this: http://216.25.93.108/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 43&t=13370

Up till now I found only two top UCI engines who are giving a positiv score but a lot with a 0.00 when given the whole game.

Have a nice week

Hello

In the meantime I got information that according to the fide rules the same moving right have to be applied as well. In the german fide rule set it is chapter 9.2. The moving right are explicitly mentioned in it! I dont know if it is the same chapeter in other languages.

This means: Every engine that is given this whole game should show a high positiv score for white. Every engine that shows 0.00 or better that wants to play Nd7 and shows 0.00 (and maybe stops working there) has a bug!

Nice find and out of a real game!

Bye

Nice position. Some show a very confident 0.00 just a few a high eval for white. I think its won for white. Is it a Zugzwang/Nullmove problem ?!

Hello again

Prior to my post I allways analysed from the game of course, so when I tried to analyse the position out of my previous post again I found out what the problem is:

With Nd7 for black a position is reached for the third time in the game - but with different rights for the next move (black/white).

Because UCI is sending the whole game to the engine some interpret this as 3rd repetition but some see that there are different rights to move.

What is the official FIDE rule saying about this?

Here is the complete game for those who want to try by themself:

[Site "Somewhere"]
[Date "2007.04.23"]
[Round "?"]
[White "An Engine"]
[Black "Another one"]

[BlackElo "2500"]
[ECO "B39"]
[Result "1-0"]
