Anyway, a Leftie is in my book a person with political opinions to the left of the social democratic ones.....

So the game is a draw.

Tough luck.By Vasik Rajlich
Just a few comments about this game and tomorrow's release:
1)We are playing with tablebases, including 37 Gigs of 6-man TBs on a very fast drive. We just don't have KRPKNP. And no, we're not going to scramble tonight to add this one to our collection because of this game. (Now watch the same thing happen again tomorrow )
2) There are some chances to win anyway. I played around a bit after the game with our Amsterdam machine and sometimes Rybka can search her way to the various 5-piece TB wins (all involving Kg1-h2), and sometimes she can't (at least in a reasonable time). The various 'search conditions' can easily make a difference here of several orders of magnitude.
