In the above position, with white to move, I'm wondering if any of the top
programs give Qxd6 as winning. Seems to me after that move the 3 connected
passed pawns overwhelm the lone black rook. Junior 6a and Fritz 6a, on a
PIII-600, appear to seriously only consider Qc4. If this is so I'm a little
disappointed these two top programs don't find Qxd6. Even I, not a strong
player, found Qxd6 when asked to find the winning move.

Thanks for your thoughts,

John
