Like Fritz 6's analysis posted by Ernst, Chessmaster 7000 spots 26...Re3 after 5:59 on a P2-400 (depth 3/8), with a score of 0.08 in White's favor. Before that, it couldn't decide upon Ne3 and Nb6, both of which it scored around 0.50 for White. jm p.s. For those of you who tend to post long computer analyses such as in Ernst's post on this position, I hear from the Chessmaster team that in the next version they are going to include the ability to log any game analysis (i.e. use of the analysis/auto-annotation feature) to a file.
