Once in a while, your engine makes you happy This was a nice positional game with a pawn sacrifice for piece activity. I could not imagine more than a draw, but black squeezed white with a nice space advantage. That sometimes proves critical in the endgame.

[Dann Corbit]

And a win as black is ALWAYS much more dramatic than a win as white.

[petero2]

Nice to see that tablebases sometimes pay off. The gull vs texel game was even until gull played 76 Ka8 which was a losing mistake, although gull did not see the problem until move 81. Maybe texel's tablebase "swindle" code was helpful too, as it tries to give the opponent a hard time even if all moves objectively lead to tablebase draws.

Wei Yi not only wins the game in razor-sharp fashion, he utterly destroys his opponent with White.

If he had performed the same startling quality moves as black, it would have been more exciting.

[MikeB]

Nice to see that tablebases sometimes pay off. The gull vs texel game was even until gull played 76 Ka8 which was a losing mistake, although gull did not see the problem until move 81. Maybe texel's tablebase "swindle" code was helpful too, as it tries to give the opponent a hard time even if all moves objectively lead to tablebase draws.

That was shame for Gull. On my machine single thread, Gull moves off of Ka8 in just a few seconds. I wonder if it the egtb settings were set up properly, it favors Rb7, same as Texel. Very nice work on Texel by the way - an amazingly strong engine.

The version of Gull 3 released by the author does not have tablebases support.
