It is possible that all other moves simply lose faster. >i know you are a born >skeptic, but perhaps you should learn to trust people with more experience >sometimes :-) Sometimes, but maybe not this time ;) Just look at the thread below http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?364474 I don't 100% trust analysis made without computer assistance, even when it comes from GM's.
