[D]r1q2rk1/2pb1ppp/ppnp1n2/4pP2/P1P1P3/2PP2PP/4N1B1/R1BQK2R w KQ -

In this position, Van Wely played 15.g4 and went on to record a fine victory.
I wonder how many programs can find g4 here?  I've tried it with my program but
after a few minutes it still prefers O-O, I'll leave it running over night but
I'm not optimistic.

I'm guessing that most programs won't like g4 because it weakens the kingside,
but of course white has such a strong central grip here that he can afford to
start kingside operations.  Moves like O-O and Be3 are not bad but I think g4 is
best.

cheers,
Peter
