Subject: Test position from RWBC

Author: Tord Romstad

Date: 08:45:15 09/25/03


In the latest round of the Open Class of the Regensburg Winboard Circuit,
my program (playing black) reached the following position:

[D]r5k/P6p/Q4pp/3p3r/3pb/5P/2P2KPq/R1R2B b - - bm Bxf3;

Because of the strong attack against the white king, my program evaluates
the position as very good for black.  Unfortunately, it was not able to
find a forced win quickly enough.  The continuation was Qh4+ Kg1 Qf4
(there was a draw here by Qh2+, of course), and my program eventually lost.

When analysing the game with the help of my engine, I found that Bxf3!
seems to win for black.  My engine needs 2 minutes and 18 seconds to
find this move when running on an Athlon MP 2.0 GHz (analysis below),
which I find quite disappointing.

How fast do other engines solve this position?
