Go up one level in this thread


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.
