Hi, usually programmers don't post positions of their own games (except Vincent ;) for good reasons. Yesterday I played a bullet (!) game at ICC in which I saced a knight which won that game. After the game I wanted to find out if this was correct. Usually this isn't the case. Fritz didn't consider my move, but after a post mortem analysis (also with the help of Alex Kure) I think that Ng5+ leads to the most convincing winning line in this positions. Please start your engines/brains, gentlemen!
