After the following: 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cd 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 e5 6. Nbd5 d6 7. Bg5 a6 8. Na3 b5 9. Bxf6 gxf6 10. Nd5 f5 11. Bd3 Qg5!? (Actually ?! might be more approriate, but the move IS interesting), does your program play 12. g4? In fact, I wonder how many programs can avoid the dubious Nc7+ which wins a rook but loses the king position. I tried this out on Fritz 6a, Crafty 17.11, Yace, and Comet b23. All wanted to eat the rook. Taking the rook leads to some complications, but belive it or not, black is doing very well there. 12. g4 is recommended by John Nunn as the best move in that position, and after a game where a FM played that against me I tend to belive it (man did I get smashed into little pieces).
