Bd7 is the most logical and flexible move (Kxd4 is a rushing move, d4 is going to fall anyway). In fact I do not see how White can hold the game. Black threats are Kxd4, Kc4, d4, Bc6, d3 if 7. f5 exf5 8. e6 Be8 and black problems were not solved. >There is some fascinating stuff going on in the main line. > >WAC attributes this to Nimzovich, but doesn't give a game reference. > >I doubt that the position is solvable by a computer, and if anyone "finds" this, >they've got some lucky eval terms. A computer should be able find Rb4 if it understands that the original position is a deadlock draw after Ba3 is allowed. Then, even if it does not find the end of the tunnel after Rb4, it should realize that black has the upperhand. That eval should be higher than 0.00 I think that this test is more positional than tactical since they are too deep. Regards, Miguel > >bruce
