Hello everybody,
what is the maximum legal(!) Mate in X position for KNNvKP ?
All I found out so far, this should be a valid DTM50 mate in 63 moves:
--> N7/8/3k4/5p2/5K2/6N1/8/8 w - - 0 1
Anyone else?
Cheers, pa1ny

Re: About KNNvKP again (DTM50)
I've done some research myself lately..
I think this is a legal DTM50 mate in 90(!) moves for KNNvKP:
8/5k2/8/N3K3/p7/N7/8/8 w - - 0 1
Current DTM bases (Nalimov/Gaviota) say that 1.Nc6 will win in 83 moves, but DTZ50 bases (Syzygy) can destroy this dream and would draw the "optimal" DTM line with the 50-move-rule.

Additional Notes:
I used Stockfish-7 for Syzygy DTM50 bases, because Houdini-4 and syzygy-tables.info (online) unfortunately ignore the move-counter! :/
I used an old (free) Rybka-2.2 for Nalimov DTM bases, because newer versions surprisingly cannot handle it so precise and fast.
In the first 14 moves some of white's DTM moves need to be replaced by the optimal DTZ50 moves to avoid draw by 50-move-rule, that means more than 100 plys between two pawn moves without captures or mate (see red mark and arrows)
Then, at move 44, a pawn move is forced if black don't wanna die on move 53, zeroing forced exactly on move 50 (blue mark).
So from move 45 on, we go strictly DTM again, as we have only 89 plys (< 100) left.

Re: About KNNvKP again (DTM50)
Ok, this topic is obsolete.
I found the solution from kronsteen and galen about the max mate DTM50 in 112 and many other interesting things for KNNvKP (see http://galen.metapath.org/egtb50/)
