[D]3rr1k1/1bq1b1p1/pp1ppnnp/2p5/2P1P3/1PNBBN1P/P2Q1PP1/R2R2K1 w - - 0 1 This position is from the ssdf games The target is to avoid Bxh6. The program that are called "bean counters" have no problem to solve it and never consider Bxh6 as best. Gandalf is not a "bean counter" so it played Bxh6 and lost against Shredder2(p200) after gxh6 Qxh6 Nf8 Ng5 e5(I think that Ng5 is another bad move and e5 is a better because it wins a pawn) I bought Gandalf4.32 and I decided to see if Gandalf can avoid Bxh6 at longer time control(I read that gandalf is better at longer time control) I use Gandalf as an engine for Hiarcs7.32. Unfortunately after more than 100 minutes on my pIII450 Gandalf continues to consider Bxh6 as best when the main line begins with Bxh6? gxh6 Qxh6 Nf8 Ng5? N6h7? with 0.64 pawns for white at depth 13 and 14. I hope that Gandalf can see the problem with the main line with more time. Uri
