I’ll reiterate here that the second set of analysis is less accurate. What was the difference between analysis sessions? In the second case, Fritz12 was analyzing the game without the use of endgame tablebases. In fact, the analysis is less accurate – note that Fritz12’s analysis contains forced mates starting with White’s 80 th move (instead of Black’s 65 th move as seen in the first illustration). Same engine, radically different analysis. Here’s what the endgame analysis looked like: I set up Fritz12 to analyze the game using 40 seconds a move, and I provided tablebase access to the engine.

The game Burn-Baird, USA 1889 concluded with a straight Queen vs. There are numerous endgames in which a chess engine simply can’t look far enough ahead to reach a proper conclusion, and this is why tablebases are so vital – especially for post-game analysis. Many strong players (master level and up) will tell you that proper technique is paramount in many endings, and the whole reason for studying technique is to avoid having to look twenty or thirty (sometimes more!) moves ahead in an ending. But as more material appears on the board, the proper path becomes less clear some minor piece endings require precise technique. Some players might ask, “Why can’t a strong chess engine do that anyway?” With simple endgames, many engines can do that.

All of these positions are linked together with a very important result: a chess engine will play or analyze that endgame perfectly, completely error-free. Rook tablebase file contains every possible position of King + Queen for one player and Rook + King for the other player. What are tablebases? They’re special chess databases which contain every possible position of x material on the board. In discussing post-game analysis in the Fritz “family” of playing programs ( Fritz, Rybka, Shredder, Junior, and Hiarcs), as we’ve been doing for the last several blog posts, we need to also consider the important role of endgame tablebases (such as we find in the Fritz Endgame Turbo 3 package).
