Quite a silly endgame!
According to the endgame tablebases: Position=0, Kf1=0, Kd2=0, Ke2=0,
Kf2=0, e5=0, Kd1=0. In other words, all moves draw and are silly!
I suppose you're studying endgames? You can tweak Chessmaster.
1. In "Setup Persoanlity" choose Chessmaster and uncheck endgame
databaes. Chessmaster will "forget" which endings are won, draw, loss,
etc and calculate its play like usual. It's about 50-100 ELO weaker.
2. Increase the "Randomness" setting. Now it will try to win endgames a
little differently every time, which tests your knowledge better.
