This is a position that can come up in the sicilian dragon. My engine does not see it until it's way too late, even in standard time controls. [D] 3qr1k1/pp1bppb1/3p2p1/2rN2Bn/2nNPPp1/1B6/PPP1Q3/2KR3R b - - 0 1 The idea is to avoid Ng3 because it leads to something like this: [D] 3qr1k1/pp1bppb1/3p2p1/2rN2B1/2nNPPp1/1B6/PPP4Q/2K4R b - - 0 3 I bet that the strong amateurs and pros will avoid this move quickly. I need about 6M nodes and 10 ply to see its bad... even then my engine still wants to play it as it thinks the king can sneak out. It can't, according to opening book literature. Scott
