This is the most difficult position in the
7-piece perfect play database. Set it up on your computer, and see if the
winning side can actually win from here. Several programs and humans have
attempted to win this position against WCC Platinum III, but none has been
able to do so. WCC's perfect defense on the losing side has proven to be
unassailable, resulting in consistent draws. When playing the winning side,
however, WCC's 7-piece perfect play lookup (PPL) database will immediately
crush any opposition, with moves that complete the win as efficiently as possible.
It does this instantly, with no searching.
There are more than 19 billion positions in
the 7-piece PPL database, and only about 9% are draws. This means that there
are more than 17 billion perfect moves stored in this database, waiting to
be discovered. WCC has already corrected the traditional winning play for
Fourth Position.
