Accusing anyone of cheating, with no supporting evidence, is simply an unwarranted attack. Nobody has evidence that DB cheated in that game, other than that the program found an interesting move. My program has looked at that position for 50 billion nodes. It didn't find Be4, but I discovered that the position was tending toward a draw (+0.13). Variance in eval function could easily cause one move to pop up above the other. In the last ply, perhaps the value of the position after Qb6 dropped a bit, and that triggered the thing to search longer. There is no need to assume that anyone cheated, certainly there is nothing that would support an accusation in a public forum. bruce
