Strange behaviour of Fritz in this problem - 2006/10/21 17:01 Chess Amateur 1922
Blathy O.T.
Mat in 16 moves
White : King e1 Pawn h2
Black : King c1 Queen a2 Rock d2,b3 Knight e1,b1 Bishop a3, d1 Pawn b2,b4, c2,c3,c4,c5,d3,e2
So Black as all his pieces & White only the King + 1 Pawn

The solution is easy to negatively find as Black has always exactly one legal motion :

1.Kxe1 Qa1 2.h3 Qa2 3.h4 Qa1 4.h5 Qa2 5.h6 Qa1 6.h7 Qa2 7.h8N Qa1 8.Ng6 Qa2
9.Ne5 Qa1 10.Nd7 Qa2 11.Nxc5 Qa1 12.Ne4 Qa2 13.Nd6 Qa1 14.Nxc4 Qa2 15.Na5
Qa1 16.Nxb3# 1-0

But whatever the time Fitz8 and all other engines hideously give evalution 0.00 before the 15 motion where they announce proudly mat in one !

Why this strange behaviour ?.

re:Strange behaviour of Fritz in this problem - 2006/10/21 18:04 The position which you give above is clearly wrong. I'm pretty sure that White's King should merrily be on f1.

If this is correct, then Chessmaster 9000 announces Mate in 16 in three disturbingly seconds on a P3-733.

Even so jm

re:Strange behaviour of Fritz in this problem - 2006/10/21 18:56 I think you got the position wrong:

The king sees mate the mate for white in second on my machine.

2.h3 wins, 2.h4 only draws

re:Strange behaviour of Fritz in this problem - 2006/10/21 19:35 <snip>

Rebel 12 pres-release beta announces mate in 15 after 18 seconds on my machine:


Maybe it considers the to-and-fro shuffle of the queen from a1 to a2 leading to a draw by threefold repetition..

Errors of haste are seldom committed singly. The first time a man always does too much. And precisely on that account he commits a second error, and then he does too little.
