... Bc4 ! really looks like an extremely strong move for a chessprogram at 60/2
, i.e. Crafty 17.12 would have no chance here ; though it detects Qxb4 to be
weak at ply 14 it can't find something better fast enough :
14 9:41 -- 1. ... Qxb4
14 15:25 -1.43 1. ... Qxb4 2. Qxd5 Rxe1+ 3. Nxe1 Re8
4. Qf5 Rxe1+ 5. Kh2 Kg8 6. Qh7+ Kf7
7. Bg6+ Ke7 8. Rf3 Kd7 9. Rxf8 Re7
10. Bf5+ Kc6 11. Rc8+ Kb7 12. axb5
Qf4+ 13. g3 Qxf2+
14 69:30 9/48 1. ... Bb7
