Re: Komodo strikes first at the TCEC Superfinal

Post by BBauer »

Here is what I got with my modified SF based on lazy threads,using 6-piece syzygys.
Bc2 is found by depth 12. Score goes up to 7 but later down to 1.
As Bc2 is winning something is wrong with SF code.
Kind regards

I would take the time control, the opening book, and the hardware of the Super Final over any blitz or bullet time control offered by other ratings lists.
right, back to reality: 99% of users dont have that, so for a average pc
rating lists and tests will show the difference.

You missed my point. Of course most of us don't have that.

{Endgames in which your king is being chased for a very long time by the
opponent's queen are some of the most unpleasant to play and calculate for the
side being chased: on every move, you have to try to calculate how to reach
safety and find a safe haven. In some cases, it is psychologically
overwhelming. Optically, in many cases having no pawn cover for your king
makes you feel like there is no way to protect the king from endless checks.
To help deal with this psychological flaw, once every couple of months, I turn
on an engine with 6-man Tablebases and play through some difficult endgames I
played with an exposed king in the past. Each time I discover something new,
and defensive ideas and patterns click a little bit more in my mind. Sometimes
extremely visually unpleasant moves start to look natural, and confusing lines
start to seem digestible. Queen endings in particular are very difficult for
human players to handle well. The following endgame features one of the most
impressive and unbelievable king walks I have ever seen.} 1. Bc2 $1 {This is a
beautiful move, intending Qe4 with an immediate win. The bishop cannot be
captured because the rook is overloaded with defending b8. It is an optically
surprising move because it looks like it can be captured but it really cannot.}

block the fourth rank to protect its king.} Rb2 3. Kg4 $1 Qe6+ 4. Kg5 Qe7+ 5.
Kf5 Qf7+ 6. Kxe5 {This is a very difficult plan to decide on, but what most
likely could be determined by process of elimination: amazingly, Black appears
to hold the position by all normal means and attempts by White, so the only
way forward is to take the pawn and try to avoid the checks with the queen and
rook. The bishop will be instrumental in blocking those checks and taking away
important checking squares.} Qg7+ 7. Ke6 $3 {This is a beautiful piece of
reciprocal logic: coming to f5 immediately does not work because Black gets
perpetual check. By coming to e6 first, White makes it harder for Black's
queen to conveniently check the king.} (7. Kf5 Rb5+ 8. Kf4 Qh6+ 9. Kf3 Qh3+ $11

Well, if it was that simple and obvious, Stockfish would have played it !
Maybe you should play instead of Stockfish. :)
