Nd7, and give an evaluation of -0.27 after 23 minutes of pondering in a Pentium III 500 MHz, with 128 Mb of Ram. Which Knight goes to e4? I think that either knight going to e4 is a positional mistake as Tim pointed above, it gives up two minor pieces for a rook and pawn, which I don't think it is sufficient to win for Black, and White may even win the game because of the outposts he may gain for the knights. Could you give the rest of the moves of the game you played? I bet that the 2250 blundered in time trouble. Laurence
