Rxe6 fxe6 2. Bh6 a6 for a long time, but I didn't get to find any position in that white are better. However, I think Howard is right when he wrote: "the position was extremely deep and full of twists and turns that computers needed a long time to resolve". I will seek in the files with approximately 1.5 years to see what you and Howard played, I am curious because I am not 100% sure that white can't win/draw in this position. Paulo Soares
