I won't argue with such specialists in engines..  Roll Eyes
All I want to say here is that the examples were from year 2011 and the main analysis engine used is dated 180813.
Nice to see such progress in the last Stockfish, btw!  Wink



The 2011 positions u posted are still not found by many engines till now. Only by few whose parameter can be changed find it.

Blindingly obvious, yes. I fail to see a point being made here.

Houdini (1.5) evaluates this as completely equal giving 1.Ndf3 at depth 23
yet, black is totally lost after 1.Bxh7+! Kxh7 2.Qh5+ Kg8 3.Qxh4 Nxe5 4.fxe5 Be7 5.Rf6!! (what a wonderful move)


Very Nice Position!!. I couldnot produce everytime though as smp analysis are not always reproducible.

The obvious 1....Rxh2!! with the Ra8-f8-f4 & Qh4-h6 idea is not too far from the human chess mind. Not too many moves for a chess engine to count, in fact. And yet, they can't see the best move here.  Roll Eyes


What engines cant see ? You must have used a crap engine.

Thx, Vass! I'm amazed that the engines can't see that plan. But then, I've found that even now, Roman Dzindzichasvili's old (1990s) method of using pawn storms to crush engines still works in correspondence.

You're welcome!..  Cool
Amazingly, even in the positions that are highly tactical the engines can't do without the correspondent player. At least, when a strategy is needed.. Look at this example:
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
*
This one is from a correspondent chess game, too.. Every correspondent player will try to analyze the winning move 1.Ncxe5!! first.. Try some Houdini's or Rybka's!.. They can see it in 27-depth  Shocked, at least.. While the human strategy is simple: sac the knight for two pawns (Kh8-h7 is a must), exchange the c-file rooks (Rc1xc8, Rfxc8 is compulsory, too), then move the queen along f3-g4-f5 route and...you can help yourself with some engines if you're lazy..  Wink
The pawn storm is coming..  Grin


Again with the current hardwares you dont even need a human's strategy most of the time in middle games. Before An intelligent corr player first checks his pet program suitable in those positions first.

As correspondence chess players know...the engines are far from perfection. One may look at this position with Houdini, Rybka or whatever and never find the win for black (position taken from a correspondence chess game):
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *

Then try to think yourself, analyze a bit...and you'll see:
1... g3! 2. h3 Bxh3! 3. gxh3 g2 4. Rfc1 Qh4-+  Cool
They use to to say correspondence chess is dead. Yes, it's dead...when relying only on machines.  Wink



First of all there are many chess programs. All have there special characteristics as the way are programmed. So before saying engines don't find is not the appropiate way of showing a engines weakness. Programs are only tools. Its the user deficiency of knowledge of how to use them and novices throw all the fault on programs.
Here is mine.

It took only 30 secs to find Black is winning!!.

Its your inefficiency that you dont know what to use where. Its not programs fault!!.

@fling,

I understand what you mean. But i expect most presice results from most competitive engine. Maybe i am wrong. But i am not engine specialist, and don't know algorithms.

That's not all you don't know. These engines simply are not a path to Chess Truth, and it's both amusing and a little annoying that anyone would come here with the idea that they are. I suggest that you take up correspondence chess, and after a couple of years, I can assure you that your regard for your pet engines will be very much diminished.


This is partially true. Chess programs are necessary Evil. Humans are good in strategic planning on certain positions an chess programs are dynamicaly and tactically strong. You just cant avoid them. These use of programs will not diminish. I have been playing freestyle and correspondence chess since 5 years and I find them helpful.

well, it does see Rf6 when you take the position right before that move, but not when it's 9 half-moves away as in the starting position
once it sees Rf6, Houdini is going crazy about Bxh7+, and my opponent (about 2200) resigned after I played that move, so it was a win in 16 starting with 1.b3!
