Re: Dedicated Test Move
i would love to test this on one of my computers because most 2000+ ELO dedicated computers can search fairly deeply in endgame positions like this with few pieces on the boardTerry McCracken wrote:[fen]3k4/R5p1/3P1p2/3K4/1P2P2p/8/4r3/8 w - - 0 41[/fen]

however at this moment ,between the CC game and the Palm Hiarcs match and the Conical Conic i just have too many computers set up to give it a whirl with a different computer
so you are stuck with me on this one...
in this position Steve B (1000 ELO.. SS)set for 60 minutes thinking time wants to play Ra8+ ..rating the position as +.87 for white and searching just barely 2 ply deep
So Many Computers..So Little Time Regards

Rybka(2.2) wanted to at first play Rxg7 but then after 14 seconds and 10 ply it settled on e5 returning a PV of +5.73
Hmmm Regards

Under tournament conditions (3:00 minutes per move) the Mephisto Atlanta recommends 41. e5, too, after 3:03 minutes and 10_21 ply. The evaluation goes up from +1.2 (if I remember correctly) to +2.8. The pawn e5 forms a curtain, so to speak, for the white king to move forward no matter whether the white pawn stays or gets captured by pf6. A good idea.
