KNNKP position: can Black avoid a legal Mate?
In the CCC-Forum, I came upon this KNNKP position: 8/k7/8/4Kn2/8/P7/8/1n6 b - - 01 The Nalimov DTM show this is a Mate-in-115, and this shortest Mate-in-115 is indeed legal by the 50-move rule (White pushes his Pawn after less than 50 moves) Is it possible to search, starting from this given positio...

Re: 3x4 chess is solved
Great achievement!!!
I am waiting for the 5x5 minichess (with all pieces on 1st rank)
Can you give us a quick definition of your 3x4 chess?
And what is the result: value of the game (1, 1/2, 0?)

You are being overly pessimistic, Kirill !...
I am using a 1.5 TB eSATA Seagate disk, in a "FlatDock" box with USB and eSATA access (I use the USB access).
It is quiet and heats up very little.

How to obtain EGTBs abiding by the 50-move rule?
My question is: how is it possible to obtain a Nalimov-type EGTB (say, for 5-men) which takes into account the 50-move rule? I am not sure at all that the combination of the DTM and DTZ50 tables are sufficient to reach that goal. A friend of mine is trying to program such an EGTB, starting with knnk...
