Absolutly perfect.
In the meantime a have tested a few other programes.
Yace 0.23 plays 32.Rd6xc6! but only with a drawscore!
But Crafty understands the position in the style every programe should do so.
Some other programes are good too:Gandalf 4.32g,Rebel Century 3,Nimzo, CM8000,
Phalanx.So this position is not for every programe too difficult. But in my
opinion for too much.

Greetings
Thomas
