So >what is preventing programs from finding the right choice? I think that programs that find it immediately do it because of different evaluation function. They do not see a forced win. I am not sure if Bxe6 is winning. The main question is if white is winning after 1.Bxe6 fxe6 2.Qxe6+ Kh8 and I only analyzed it for a short time so I do not know. 2...Kg7 is probably losing because of the forced line 3.Rd7+ Kg6 4.g4 Rf8 5.Qe4+ f5 6.Qe6+ Kg5 7.h3 Uri
