I was focusing on the text by JR :o): "DT-2 agreed with Kasparov's analysis after going down the line given in Informant, but could not find the move on its own in one hour time. When letting it run overnight, it produced Nxh6 after 8 hours (but would play it with a 6 hours/move time control; that is, it got first indication that the combination might work after about 6 hours), with the variation 1. Nxh6! c3 2. Nf5 cxb2 3. Qg4 which wins for white." So getting the first 5 ply, which are the essential moves, within 40 minutes isn't too bad IMHO. In my mind "right move for the wrong reason" suggests bad planning, but chess programs don't make plans. Mogens.
