That's not under discussion, and not my problem but a problem of the programmers. The fact a program is unable to understand something does not make the thing irrelevant. It just shows that the program does not understand that issue. The move sequence that starts with a5 and culminates with the locking move e4 is losing for the program. If the program does not understand that, the programs is treating badly the position. Period. No more no less. That's why the black plan should be corrected somewhere. That's why I proposed to replace Qc7 as an option, and may be concrete analysis can show this is not enough. Yuor line till Re1 is not the final answer, altough not to far from refuting my idea to replace Qc7. >This position was an exception,not a common position at all. I agree, but since in most of the other positions programs play well, here is where the programmes should do the work.
