Winning endgame for black?

Post by Nordlandia »

Stockfish evaluates it as -1.5 - 1.75 for black.

[d]r7/p2k1pp1/2nb3p/2p5/8/8/PP3P1P/3Q1K2 w - - 0 30

I played this casual bullet game on lichess just some minutes ago and the Q vs RBN imbalance did turn out to be interesting.

I'm downloading KRBNPvKQ and KRBNvKQP table that might turn the tide of analysis.

Good luck! Assuming that you have all sub-7 tablebases, don't forget the pawnless tablebases related to KRBNPvKQ and KRBNvKQP, that is, if the pawn promotes and is not captured.

http://tablebase.lichess.ovh/tables/sta ... 2_pawnless

Code: Select all

P -> {Q, N, R, B}

KQRBNvKQ

KRBNNvKQ
KRRBNvKQ
KRBBNvKQ
http://tablebase.lichess.ovh/tables/sta ... 3_pawnless

Code: Select all

P -> {Q, N, R, B}

KRBNvKQQ

KRBNvKQN
KRBNvKQR
KRBNvKQB
Judge the size of underpromotion tables. You might be done with KQRBNvKQ and KRBNvKQQ, added with the pawnful tablebases you are downloading right now.

Regards from Spain.

Downloading 200 GB take about half a day at 5 MB/s and is
presumely over in a couple of hours when i'm home from work.

I bet the evaluation should rise in blacks favour. When stockfish can consult 7 piece tables. Those tables i'm downloading will tell. If not good enough i download those sub-related tables just to be sure.
