![]() (That assumes you don't give them tablebases of course.)įorgive my ignorance, what is know the following link is not an answer but it could help you in finding an answer." Rybka or LC0 can't play the endgame at all. If you want to play the standard game against a less than perfect engine, SF8 slips about 2/3 moves per game with a mate depth of 18 moves or more. (That assumes you don't give them tablebases of know the following link is not an answer but it could help you in finding an answer." I would guess the maximum in OP's game would exceed 50.īy the way it's no use practising OP's game against an engine as I pointed out earlier. (The collection is still there but the fails have been removed, possibly to spare some players' blushes.)Īlso worth noting that the analyses of what you call the W method (Philidor's method) and Delétang triangles that are generally available include no positions of mate depth exceeding 20, whereas the average mate depth in the standard game is 27 moves and the maximum 33. That didn't include the famous fail by women's world champion Ushenina. ![]() Sixteen games and two fails from winning positions. I'm not surprised at the number of fails.Ĭ used to have a collection of games that finished up in KBNK all players 2500+. Glad to see you found someone to play against. I'll look at the problem and post one later. I would guess a more traditional analysis along the lines sometimes found in endgame manuals might be of more help. Finally the reason I want to play against humans is to introduce some randomness, the engines always try to fight the hardest to avoid the mate thus a pattern appears which is some kind of annoying when you want to practice.Īlthough I know this mate appears very rarely I was still surprised last night to see how many players don't know how to proceed to give mate (only 2 were able to mate mate me) and I played almost 20 know the following link is not an answer but it could help you in finding an answer." The method was the Deletang triangles but when I was in the process of teaching my self the mate again I discovered the W method and I practiced it against and engines, I have to say I found it easier. I learnt that mate a long time ago when I learnt to play chess and then I forgot it. Thanks MARattigan for your explanation, last night I was able to setup a KBNk position and play it against humans here at. I have a program called Wilhelm that will generate random positions with the king already in a "right" corner, then you just specify the opposite corner as the target mating corner, but you don't really need that. ![]() You send a friend request then 'play a friend' in a daily game from a set up position (I think you have to tick unrated first before you can set up the position).
