Any engine can solve this mate in 29 by now ?

Re: The mate in 29 by Herbert Grasemann
What might help if you have the mainline is to analyze backwards.
There are some repetitions so it may as well be a mate in less moves.
Impressive that Rainbow Serpent can solve this.
While it's "only" +2, it's failing high so I bet it would get a much larger score sooner or later.

Re: The mate in 29 by Herbert Grasemann
Hi,
Well, the belly of the serpent is not unlike that of the fire breathing dragon, like an oven. It has to contain fire. I think it can confine even the explosions, but the the serpent may need some entosorbine or Aka-Seltzer pills after eating this position.
It got as far as this now:

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Yep, C20/R0/K1/P4/X12 are the ChestUCI parameters I get from RetroAnalysis, but I could only solve the last 17 or 18 moves, everything before just takes too long.Ignacio wrote:Gustav 3.3b (f0, z12) needs 23 min. 7 sec. for mate in 29.
BTW, Gustav 3.3b? Wow, you are to be envied, I also only have the first version 3.0.

Re: The mate in 29 by Herbert Grasemann
Hi Peter!
Quick find by Stockfish Matefinder! Does it find the Mate in 29 for Kc7? Rainbow serpent also switches to Kc5, even reporting Mate in 31 but then loses some of the moves maybe, because then it is only Mate in 35 That is not very desirable behaviour of course. But if information is lost in the transposition table, I think it can not always be avoided. Then it switches to Kc7 again. If it really would be Mate in 31 for Kc5 then the solution is still valid I think? Kc7 leads to a shorter mate?
Regards, Eelco

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Re: The mate in 29 by Herbert Grasemann
Cannot be sure, if there couldn't have been leavings of solution- hash from other trials, didn'tn restart the GUI, but the engine had been changed in between.Eelco de Groot wrote: Quick find by Stockfish Matefinder!
I stopped the search at an #35- output after 1.Kc7 as shown in the posting.Eelco de Groot wrote: Does it find the Mate in 29 for Kc7?
That depends on the pov, Eelco, hardliners would see it yet as a major dual, I guess, for my personal view it wouldn't matter, but I'm not a judge of studies, just a consumer.Eelco de Groot wrote: If it really would be Mate in 31 for Kc5 then the solution is still valid I think? Kc7 leads to a shorter mate?
I'm trying to keep the correct number of moves to mate in hash at Backward, if it works, I'll come back with it

Would be funny if it really was just one move or two moves longer
