Well, so far we haven't found a single chess program which doesn't play Bxh2+ in this position. I would still like to see a comment from a strong player regarding the soundness of the combination, though. >How does it see it? Was is educated in this pattern formation? I don't know about Junior, but Gothmog (my program, which plays Bxh2 after 5 seconds) does not have any knowledge of the pattern. It likes Bxh2 because it thinks white has a very bad king safety in the resulting positions. My guess is that other programs like Bxh2 for similar reasons. Tord
