I think it is evaluation not as posted 1) but 2). >My experience with chess programs tells me that the common case with programs is >the case that the illusion is too deep for the programs to see. > >It can be proved by giving them the position before Ne5 and checking if they see >positive evaluation. Both Tiger's are negative before Ne5 and even forcing Bxc4 is a -1.00 swing from what it wants to play. Which is why I say 2). >Crafty17.11 does not see positive evaluation but it can see evaluation that is >close to 0 and it may push it to play Bxc4(I do not know,I remember that an old >version of Crafty could play the wrong Bxc4 after a long time). >Hiarcs7.32 can see positive evaluation only to fail low later and the same for >other programs. As I said Tiger and Gambit seeing it as a -1.00 swing they fail immediately and it seems to me the reason is they know by evaluation or knowledge that Bxc4 is wrong. Sarah.
