A nice Mate in 12 study

Post by acase »

Add this one to your collection, a nice study that I found that I don't think has been posted before by T.Gorgiev, Shakhmaty v S. S. S. R. , 7/64. This seems to stump the engines I have tried (including The Huntsman 1) with the exception of all the Crystal versions.

Sting at a single try (a second one was not quite as fast but also about as that as for best move and winning eval, just DTM took some longer) with 30 threads of 16x3.5GHz CPU and 8G hash:

Yes, Chest is simply outstanding!

which is not too bad, either!

with the optimal parameter set (C0/R0/K3/P6/X24, found with AutoTurbo mode) it's even faster:
nr1br3/4n1pK/1p2k1p1/P7/1Pb1N1N1/8/3P1Q2/8 w - - bm #12; 00:00 @ C0/R0/K3/P6/X24;

And also the other #13 in this thread is solved:
8/8/8/6pQ/2p3p1/4p2r/2pbpN1B/3bk1K1 w - - bm #13; 00:00 @ C2/R0/K2/P4/X16;

But the AutoTurbo mode needs a few minutes to find these parameters, it's faster if you set KingSquares=2 before.

Regards,
Franz
