Result after two hours training on this simple endgame. Bit disappointing.

Your humor is drier than mine and that is something that I can appreciate.

I have a question for you Henk. My mother always claimed that she was Pennsylvania Dutch. Her last name is/was Conrad. So in your opinion was she Dutch or was she German? Or not enough information?

Yeah, could be a bug. Or maybe you just need 5,000 TPUs.

Don't understand link between Pennsylvania and the Dutch. Conrad does not sound like a Dutch name.

Conrad = Americanized spelling of German Konrad. It is derived from the Proto-Germanic name Konrad, from conja meaning bold and rad counsel. It was the name of a 10th-century bishop of Constance, and became popular in post-medieval English and post-medieval French. It regained popularity in the English-speaking world in the 19th century. It is recorded as a surname as early as 1297.

The Pennsylvania Dutch are German ("Deutsch") rather than Dutch.
