 The terms "mobility" and "king safety" comes to mind after this kamikaze...

 Anyway, I made a quick check on PIII 800 with 128 Mb hash. 4 min ponder.

 Fritz 5.32        21.b3  and later plays b3-b4.
 Fritz 6 Old       21.b3
 Fritz 6 (Newest)  21.b4
 Deep Fritz        21.b4
 Hiarcs 7.32       21.b4

 Then we have some non closers:

 Crafty 18.08      21.Bc1
 Shredder 5        21.h4
 Gandalf 4.32h     21.Kf1 or 21.Re2  (shifting after 4.02)
