PostModernist's static evaluation of the position is +1.47 for White, which is mostly based on Black's King position. This sounds reasonable (even a little conservative) given the outcome of the game. But a d12 search from this position indicates that White is winning by only 0.33 or so. Certainly PM has no inkling of Black's impending doom. I'd be interested in the static evaluation of this position by other programs. Andrew
