So, the sacrifice of the exchange by 20...Nc5 or >20...Nf6 give black the chance to free his game and equalize the position. Hi Thomas, you're right, Nc5 was probably the best move in this position. But your title "the reason why Anaconda can´t draw against Hydra..." is a bit misleading. Even after Nc5, white is better and you still can't be sure to draw this position against a machine almost 60 times faster ;-) Best, Frank > >Please notice that my intention is to help the programers and not to show how >weak chessprograms are playing chess. > >Have fun and improve your chessprograms. > >TL
