Drawish endgame

Post by Nordlandia »

Brief overview: white got two pawns for the piece and the remaining pawns are stationated on the kingside. White can hope to trade off everything and rely on the fact that K vs NN is draw. Is there any winning prospects for black here?

I have one deep search with a somewhat rising score, so I think it is promising. But Stockfish probably should have a better kingwalk score or something. I did not get the high score at the end of your PV for some reason, maybe because I had no tablebases, but I get much more drawish score, could be your result is because of the much deeper search at the start position.

This is not the best Kaissa_IV I think. But this is what has been running.
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: Drawish endgame

Black's material advantage of an mere pawn is probably not enough to convert this endgame.

Yes, you are probably right. In the position at the end of Vincent's PV Black has a Knight against a passed pawn, but they seem to keep each other in equilibrium

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first

are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.
