crazy queen


Probably all chess engines contain error (?) - “crazy queen“. It is important information for study composers.
Now it is known, why Stockfish can’t solve the 5th example of my IQ test.

The following 4 positions will not solve any UCI (or chess) engine.
All: black to move and win.

(= 5+5 )

1...Qxh7

(= 5+7 )

1...Qxa6 (Qxb5, Qxd4)

(= 5+4 )

1...Qxc3

(= 4+4 )

1...Kg5 [now or later]

There is a wrong high score, and the queen makes a sequence of moves without any benefit.

I joined all my work into the article: "Crazy queen" and other problems with chess engines.

I see that nobody uses computer to create chess compositions.

Thanks for the article and bug report, but I really don't know what one should reply. You're right so everyone would agree.

Unfortunately, I found two examples of „crazy rook” too.

(= 4+5 )

1...Rxg5 wins

(= 5+5 )

1...Kf7 wins

Be aware, because it concerns studies, mainly.
