Challenge the Oracle

There was a discussion about perfect play in another thread.
I setup the bot to play the losing side of a tablebase position.
In order to reach the setup, you need to follow the sequence of moves exactly. Any variation and the bot will resign the game.
The bot always plays silver.
The first move as gold after the setup phase is a normal 4 step move. It is NOT the 2 step move used in the endless endgame event.
The bot is playing as bot_clueless_test
If there are any problems, requests etc. please let me know.
First Position:
Required path to setup:
1g Ra1 Rb1 Rc1 Rd1 Re1 Rf1 Rg1 Rh1 Da2 Hb2 Cc2 Ed2 Me2 Cf2 Hg2 Dh2
1s ra8 rb8 rc8 rd8 re8 rf8 rg8 rh8 da7 hb7 cc7 md7 ee7 cf7 hg7 dh7

4s db7e dc7s dc6x rb8s rb7s

Quote:| 2014-03-03 23:01:34 chessandgo thanks. Why not post the link in the forum thread? |

Yes, why not.
http://harvey.alwaysdata.net/puzzle_map2.html
It's a clusterfudgy single 450k html file for now. I'll have to make a proper database when it gets too big. The format was intended to allow a raw text-search.
There are three numbers above each board. The first is a unique position id. The ids are assigned to unique positions in chronological order since the first game. Positions are identified by the positions of the pieces and the side to move (not the move number). The second number is a hit count, and the third the id of the game where it was first played.
The numbers after the links are the id and hits of the target position. Since a few paths are merging, the sum of the hits of the next positions is sometimes greater than the hits of the current one. I'm changing this every other day, so this description might become quickly obsolete.
Thanks for putting the oracle online! The puzzle was finally cracked in game 295159 (which will be in the db file tomorrow, I guess).

Whoop whoop!
For jdb's and the solvers team thoughts, see the chat archive, 2014-03-04 01:54:01 UTC. (some thoughts from the team just before that too)

I can put up another one.
What level of difficulty? The first one was a medium.

I like the idea of having two puzzles open at once. Double the fun!

Would it be possible to change the Oracle such that if there are multiple equally long defenses, that those that have not been refuted over the board are tried over those that have been?
