Hi Pete,
Contrary to what I was saying on ICC the other day, PM likes Rxa4 from ply 1.
Clearly that wide-open King position is just too much to resist. By depth 12,
however, the score is still -0.60. What score did chop think it was getting
with the exchange? What does Amateur like here, Will?
Cheers
Andrew
