Challenge: Worst position without mate by engine

Avatar of Klodshans85

Here's a different kind of chess challenge.

 

Show off the most dominated position you can come up with, without that engines announces mate in x moves. The "best" chess position is the one with the highest pawn evaluation. The following criteria needs to be met:

  1. Only post if you can beat the previous poster.
  2. Only a realistic number of pieces and pawns. Fx, if one side have 2 knights, 2 bishops (of opposite color), 2 rooks, and 3 pawns, then he can only have up to 6 queens.
  3. All pawns shall be placed on squares they can actually reach in any real game. However, we will not care about if your position is actually legal, as it can be too difficult to determine.
  4. Test with your engine (standard settings) between 500.000.000 - 600.000.000 nodes. The engine has to be rated above 3000.

This position is obviously illegal - white had to make 6 pawn captures to get that pawn structure, but Black's only missing 2 units.

Yep, I'm aware of this. I'm thinking of deleting this topic, and post a new one, where you have to start from the starting position and give a sequence of legal moves to reach the desired position and ensure legality

That is not necessary. It takes less time than one might think to determine the legality of most positions.
