I haven't seen it come out on top as a program's first choice, but the programs I tried seem to realize that it is playable. Modern programs know that the wandering king and the blocked-off queen spell big trouble for White. They don't even play Nb6, preferring moves like Ne3 to try to give the White king a smidgen of protection or two. ;-) Perhaps your opponent consulted with an somewhat older program? Dave
