Mine finds ... c5, too. But if I force ... Bg7 Ng1, then wait a while (on a P6/200), I get Rxg3 with a score of +3.48. The line is ... Rxg3 Ne2 Rf3 Ng1 c5+ dxc6 Ned3+. I don't know if Rxg3 is necessary or not, since all it does in my line is remove the g-pawn, but there it is. If I follow out a few sensible but possibily innaccurate moves, black ends up ahead by three pawns. I think that at least it's clear that white is toast after ... Bg7, if the best defense is Ng1. bruce On December 18, 2000 at 22:59:33, Laurence Chen wrote: >This position has bothered the most for the longest time, it was fascinating to >see that the chess engines I used to analyse this position gives a ? or ?? for >Black's move 26. ...
