For all you Dvoretsky endgame readers - 

 

Do you guys play out the positions against an engine? I read in the intro that many of his examples are expressly made for engine sparring practice - I've just started doing it and it really adds to the understanding of the position. (The CPU finds all sorts of ways to confound you and to point out key defensive moves that you're overlooking!)

Just wondering as it seems so critical, but nobody I've heard reading Dvoretsky (or other endgame books) ever mentions practicing a lot against the computer.

If you read my blog (chessskill. Blogspot.com) you will find this form of training mentioned. Also, you will learn about using flash cards to learn Dvoretsky's key positions.
