Fails to win if tablebases used for engines but not adjudication #31

Closed dje-dev closed 3 years ago

dje-dev commented 3 years ago

Because of failure to use DTZ feature of tablebases, Ceres can fail to convert overwhelmingly superior positions in the endgame. Ceres is likely to suffer many draws if playing tournaments using tablebases for engines but not adjudication.

Example: 8/8/B7/8/8/Q3B1R1/K1k5/8 w - - 7 86
