Subject: Difficult? Position

Author: James Robertson

Date: 12:02:50 03/25/00

Yesterday Insomniac played a game against CSTal(C). Who knows what engine it was
using (it wasn't LG, as the notes said). During one of the games, Insomniac
reached this position with black and played ... Nc4. At the time I suspected
Bxh3 might be better, and confirmed this after the game.

r1b1r1k1/pp3ppp/3b4/3pn3/3N3q/2P1B2P/PP2BPP1/R2Q1RK1 b - - bm Bxh3;

1. ... Bxh3 2. gxh3? Qxh3 3. Bf4 {Re1? Nd3!} Nf3+ 4. Nxf3 Bxf4 5. Qxd5 Re6 6.
Qxe6 Qxe6 and black wins.

Unfortunately, this position completely stumped Insomniac. What do other
programs think?
