Here's a website where you can download it: http://behind.chesslib.no/dl_showsub.asp?cat_id=14&cat=Nalimov To accelerate your download I reccomend using Free Download Manager (which can be found here: http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/). It makes multiple connections to the server so your download speed can be up to about 5 times faster. You still can't go faster than your bandwith limit though.

Has it been shown that 50 moves are sufficient to win in a K+B+N vs. K engame, _from any starting position_ where the black K does not win the B or N? I looked a this the other day and I'm having some doubts.
Originally posted by CrawlIceAs has been stated, it takes less than 35 moves from any position. There is a mate that takes more than 50 moves; N+N+P+K v K I think. In this case the 50 move rule is extended.

If no pawn move or capture has been made within 50 moves draw can be claimed even if there is a forced mate in the 51st move.
The importent thing in otp play is to stop the clock, call the referee and tell which move you will make to make the 50th move. If you move you lost your right to claim the draw until your opponent has moved (without moving a pawn or capture something).

"What's the 50-move rule? If a game continues 50 moves without a Pawn move or a capture, the game is drawn. That means 50 moves for White and 50 moves for Black.
In recent years the rules have been changed to allow more than 50 moves when certain material is left on the board. This is because computers have discovered endgame positions which are a theoretical win, but which take more than 50 moves against the best defense. These positions are very rare and are not likely to occur in your games. Unless you are playing in a tournament where the director has specified rules for these special positions, use the 50-move rule."
