The Critter-Stockfish TCEC game was really interesting.
Black had this:
[D]5k2/8/q4b2/8/7p/2p3N1/6P1/1Q5K b - - 0 122
But unfortunately ended with this:
[D]8/8/8/b7/8/3k2p1/6P1/7K w - - 35 148
For every player rated above 1400 the draw is obvious, but not to Stockfish without EGTB.
Offtopic:
I explored similar EGTB position in search for chess composition ideas and here is one:
[D]6k1/4K1p1/6P1/8/8/6P1/8/2B5 w - - 0 1

Here's the game, as far as I can tell 122...c2 is a huge blunder:

Re: Stockfish + EGTB = Win
Yes, this was quite unfortunate. I've added the knowledge to detect this type of draw to stockfish, we shall see if it makes it into the next version.muxecoid wrote:The Critter-Stockfish TCEC game was really interesting.
Black had this:
[D]5k2/8/q4b2/8/7p/2p3N1/6P1/1Q5K b - - 0 122
The rule is in KBPKP endgames, if the weaker side has a pawn on 7th rank, file B or G, the opposing bishop is on the opposite color, and the opposing king can't get closer to the pawn then the weaker king, then it's a draw.
After a depth 27 search, in the given position Stockfish now prefers Qa4 with eval of 4.72, instead of c2??.

Re: Stockfish + EGTB = Win
OK, but can Stockfish detect K+ (wrong Bishop) + Rook Pawn vs lone King is a draw if the defending King can occupy the would-be queening square?
A lot of engines wrongly evaluate this as a win.
Thanks,
Carl

Stockfish handles rook pawns well already (and has for some time now). So, thankfully no need to add that
