since you are this far, go on and try your program too.

On my very much less than 3300 elo rated engine (my brain) Be5 seems to be the easiest win. It locks the black knight and helps support agaist a pawn rush by black ... also the black king needs too much time to move it out of the way. In the meantime the white King goes and mops up on the queenside or at least forces a passer. I really don't think any engine can miss that.

Well done. Humanity still has it's strengths.

One little caveat: After 1. Be5 Kf7 2. Kc3 Ke6 3. Kd4 White cannot directly mop up the queenside. However, White will simply create a passed pawn. exchange at c7 and then mop up the kingside :D

I would imagine that this is not so easy for engines to see. Especially because 1. Be5 is just the most straightforward win, but not the only one.

One the other hand, knight domination seems to be rather easy to implement.

First of all: there is no program over 3300 Elo !! Elo 2200 are more than sufficient to find a move like 1.Be5 in this position. Here the solution of Deep Shreeder 12 Linux on Quad Q6600/2.4 GHz:

Elo is not an absolute, so I could have a list with programs rated 5000 Elo if my baseline was 3000.

BTW, Are you relly sure Deep Shredder is only rated 2200?

Deep Shredder 12 Linux is of course stronger than 2200 Elo. My point was that you do not need much Elo to find that 1.Be5 is the winning move.

The best, right. No need of calculations, just a matter of positional acumen, that clearly you have
