Thorsten,

We won our last game against "VirtualChess" (not a really slow searcher)
because "DarkThought" badly outsearched the opponent by *4-8 plies* with
reduced material on the board starting around move 37. Apparently,
"VirtualChess" already switched null moves off with rook+queen still on
the board. "DarkThought" then saw the dangerous attack initiated by
46. Qe2! long before "VirtualChess" even sniffed it ... :-)

Please feel free to try "Chess System Tal" on the position after move
45.
Would it play 45.. Ke7, too? Does it see the looming attack?
