Can your program solve this queen trap problem. It may not be possible to solve with any of todays programs. [D]r3k2r/pp2ppbp/1q4p1/2npP3/5P2/2P5/PP4PP/RNBQR2K w This is an actual position that I got myself into when playing Rebel Century 3.0 on my PII 333 64 MB RAM at 40/120. The move sequence with me to move is: 1. Be3 Qxb2 2. Bxc5 Qxa1 3. Qa4+ Kf8 4. Qc2!! b6 5. Bd4 Rc8 6. Rd1 e6 7. Na3 Qxd1 8. Qxd1 and the score is +2.30 in whites' favor. I found that neither RC3 nor Gambit Tiger would choose the move 1. Be3. Will any program on faster machines find that first move for white? After that move will any program not select the pawn and then the rook capture? Tim Frohlick
