Can white hold the draw here or not?

In this example black can now win in 20 moves with Nxh3.

No. Black mates in 30 moves according to the Lomonosov tablebases.

After 3'50" it is already -6.00. So that does not look like a possible draw to me, even without tablebases installed.

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.

I let Crafty run for 10 minutes at 100M nodes per second. Stopped at almost -8.00. One interesting test is to remove the rooks, since this is a KNNKP type ending, and sure enough, it appears that if rooks are traded, this is a win for black because of the poor white h pawn location.

I'd suspect it is won for black based on these results...

At depth 40, SF gives a <120 score, that means the position is lost for white :

Of course and then black can win in 87 moves! :oops:
Perhaps white should try Qh5+ instead. :roll:
