I recently played a 5 minute blitz game against International Master Nenad
Aleksic. see moves below: (I lost as I am black.)
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6 6.Be3 Bg7 7.f3 O-O
8.Bc4 Nc6 9. Bb3 Bd7 10.g4 Qa5 11.h4 Rfc8 12.h5 Ne5 13.hxg6 hxg6
14.Bh6 Bh8 15.Qd2 b5 16.O-O-O Nc4 17.Bxc4 Rxc4 18.Nb3 Qc7 19.Bf8!! OK
"gang" the parties over. All variations are FORCED and win rather quickly
for white. The game continued 19. ... Rxf8 20.Rxh8+ Kxh8 21.Qh6+ Kg8
22.Rh1 Nh5 22. gxh5 Rxc3 23.hxg6 1-0
My question is _why_ can't the above mentioned "engines" F5/F6/Hiarcs
find the move 19. Bf8 (Nenad found it in only 20 seconds). The engines all want
to play Bg5??
_which wins too_ in a __long endgame_ however I thought nothing could
beat these chess computers when it came to tactics.
Maybe I overlooked something? Maybe Junior,Rebel,CM 7000 or Chess Tiger
can find this "simple but elegant tactical shot"! Could anyone help me out by
checking the position after the 18th move. I would love to be corrected and/or
enlightened. Thanks for any help in solving this _mystery_!? MJA :-(
