or 4. You join Uri and I in the thread here. This is no different than
what my friends and I do at the local chess club. We discuss a position,
have differing opinions, analyse. Anyone can jump in at any time to
express there ideas on the position. Likewise here of course in this
public forum. Actually, if you've followed this thread you would have
read a few days ago that I wrote, "fca, what are you finding here?"

I don't really know if white will lose this position yet or not. If
you know for sure just show Uri and me what we are missing
and post what you've discovered here.

If you've missed the recent threads here  a quick summary is that I don't really
trust how computers evaluate positions that invole the king stranded in the
middle. Check the recently posted Valvo-Deep Thought game and see how "happy"
your programs are when Black (Valvo) plays Ba6.
