Haworth, G. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9896-1448 (2013) Chess Endgame News. ICGA Journal, 36 (2). pp. 104-107. ISSN 1389-6911

Abstract/Summary

Three topics are discussed. First, an issue in the epistemology of computer simulation - that of the chess endgame 'becoming' what computer-generated data says it is. Secondly, the endgames of the longest known games are discussed, and the concept of a Bionic Game is defined. Lastly, the set of record-depth positions published by Bourzutschky and Konoval are evaluated by the new MVL tables in Moscow - alongside the deepest known mate of 549 moves.
