Stockfish-dev solves this one, at about depth 60 on 20 cores. So I'd rate this one a 2; Stockfish seemed very confused for a long time.

Pretty study!
Houdini 6.03 on 14 cores gets this one in just over one minute and does see the draw. Seems it is able to zoom in on the solution quicker.
PK
By enabling No_Null_Moves, McBrain v3.0 (old TCEC Version) also gets the draw on my
slow laptop (Dual Core 2.0 Ghz) in less than 30 seconds. Tried 5 runs and hash cleared per run and it always gets it in under 30 seconds.
I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.

We'll see how well they did on Monday.
Engines used on moderately strong machines for one hour are: Stockfish (bleeding edge development version), Matefinder, McCain, Sting10 (crashed 2/3 of the way through), Houdini 6 Tactical 1.

Solved by move choice (05 has a bad score, but it stays put for many iterations):

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

The author (YAPCDB) "Shield" solution is:

A wonderful very deep study!
Maybe, I can't be friendly, but let me be useful.

Ok.

In this one line you gave away only 4 moves, shortest way to mate might be 20.
After Backward (strongly forbidden way of solving of course :)) of Mihai's solution- line:

I started some 1 hour search for this 6 positions, trying to reach the theorical eval (+- or =) :

In short, this is the toughest problem of this Kornrade Test Suite.
Only one left unsolved.

Code: Select all

6 (Guard Change) 1. Nf7; +-
[d]2k4N/Q1np4/2p2Bpp/1p1P4/pPP1p2P/P7/7q/1K6 w - - 0 1

Not a Null Move problem.
Looks like this is a mobility issue, trapping both Q and K of black with a long term plan of creating a passer for the win.
Sounds like this is the forte of Lc0 and other NN+MCTS engines.

It yet is, as for studies it's called cyclic Zugzwang, what's to be solved here, together with the long way of the King, as for engines this one second criterion is called lazy King eval.

BTW, because you call it the only one unsolved, which of your engines solves nr.4(Detour) and nr.5(Stubbornness) with correct eval?
Nr.12(Shield) is very hard too, but Vincent Lejeune showed at two of three trials correct solution and eval after an hour with SF dev.

For this position: [d]6k1/1qr1p2p/ppN5/3p1N2/6p1/1P1P2Pp/PP2PP1P/2RK4 w - - computers can find the winning plan, and the score does not change for tens of iterations, but the score is bad. However, the computers would achieve the draw.

Drawing plan found by SF:
Ncxe7+ Kf8 Rxc7 Qxc7 e3 Qe5 Ng6+ hxg6 Nd4 Kf7 a3 Qc7 Kd2 Kf6 Kd1 b5 Kd2 Qe7 Ke2 Qc5 Kd1 Ke5 Kd2 Qf8 Ke2 Qf7 Ke1 Kf6 Kd1 Ke7 Ke2 Kf8 Ke1 Ke8 Ke2 Ke7 Kf1 Kf6 Ke1 Qd7 Kd2 Qc7 Kd1 Ke5 Kd2 b4 a4 Kd6 Kd1 Kd7 Kd2 Qc8 Kd1 Ke7 Kd2 Qf8 Ke1 Kd6 Ke2 Qf7 Ke1 Kc5

Thanks for the pointers.
Would try those specific ones now, (by cheating)
I mean tweaking some engine settings in case I get lucky :mrgreen:
