How good is the new endgame knowledge?
It’s a good start, but certainly a lot more work is needed. Humans are naturally very good at understanding how to transition their middlegame advantage into the endgame – a human will have a very good grasp of where the drawing chances exist and how to avoid or seek them. However, it is very difficult to formulate these things and teach them to an engine. At the very least, Rybka is better now than the other engines in this department.
