Subject: A Very Difficult Test Position

Author: Oreopoulos Kostas

Date: 09:34:52 04/23/01


This is form a game Kasparov Karpov New York match

[D]r2q1b1k/1b4p1/p2pr2p/3n4/Pnp1N1N1/6RP/1B3PP1/1B1QR1K1 b - - 147 1

The position has multiple tactical motives but i think none of the PC programs
can evaluate correctly the position.

Karpov's move 25...Qe8? is a losing move due to 26.Nh6 c3 27.Nf5 cb2 28.Qg4
25...Nf4 loses to Nef6!

The only move to hold is 25...Nd3! but witch program can evaluate that this is a
saving move indeed.

I tried Gambit Tiger 2.0 for about half an hour and it just gave Qe8 as the best
variation. The computer saw the Nh6 move but failed to see that after c3 Nf5 is
decive..

Any luck with other programs ??
