Regarding Nolot # 9. Perhaps it is not the best move?!

I think black can defend.

Re: 11 Nolot Positions revisted

Post by pocopito »

I guess the comments on this page by Bruce Moreland can be of interest:

http://chessprogramming.wikispaces.com/The+Nolot+Suite


For example the conclusions:

"So 3, 6, and 9 are monsters and remain unsolved, if they aren't actually broken.
1, 4, and 10 are solvable, but the scores haven't been convincing yet.
11 is also findable, but it seems that the best result is a draw, so don't expect a big positive score.
8 is also solvable, but it might be found due to speculation.
2, 5, and 7 are known to be findable as wins."

Hello !
If you could run an overnight analysis with 3 best moves for pos #9, it would be very interesting ...

I don't use Houdini, and my machine has only 8 cores, but I'll do this with Critter 1.2.1 and post the results tomorrow.

After an hour, here's Critter's first choice:

Code: Select all

27/86+ 62:11 41025203061 10994239  +1.46 Nxh6 gxh6 Bxh6 Bg6 Ng5 Qa4 Rxc5 Bxc5 Rc1 Qb5 Be4 Be7 Rxc6 Qxe5 f4 Qf6 Bxf8 Rxf8 Rc7 Bd8 Rd7 Kg8 Kh2 a4 Bxg6 Qxg6 h5 Qf6 Ne4 Qh6 Ra7 a3 bxa3 bxa3 Rxa3 Bb6 Ra6 Bc7 Qg4+ Kh8
