Go up one level in this thread
The first game Comet - Junior in CSCC has a challenging position for
computers, fit for some test-suite material.
On the 43rd move, black is an exchange up, and can win another piece to
be a rook up, but this loses.
Black manages to avoid Rxd3 on the 45th move, but plays it on the 47th
move. Which program manages not to play Rxd3 both times ? Is there a way
to win here ? It's not even clear to me that black can avoid losing.
White can play 45. b6 or maybe even h3 and black is in some trouble.
Also interesting is that white can save the piece by 45. c7 but that may
be the only way to lose :)
How to evaluate black's 43... e4 ? Maybe one exclamation mark for
playing it, two exclamation marks for NOT playing it ?
Strangely enough, white got a decisive advantage but then failed to win.
