I can add that Qf5 in this line is another hard move to find and programs may need many minutes to find. Here is the position when you need to find Qf5 [D]1r5k/p5p1/1p2Qn2/6Np/8/5P2/Pq3P1P/4R1K1 w - - 0 1 Fritz6light can find it in less than a minute on my pentiumIII450 but Hiarcs7.32 cannot see it in 30 minutes. Crafty17.11 also have problems in this position and needs more than 20 minutes to see Qf5. Crafty at depth 13 considers Qf5 for many minutes so I guess it is going to find it. I used Crafty17.11 as an engine for Hiarcs The programs got the all game as the data and not only the position before Qf5. Uri
