The following position is from Kramnik-Shirov, Linares 2000. Shirov has just introduced a novelty move 20...b4 (very easy for computers) on this unbalanced opening variation and after 21 Kb3 Qxd5, Kramnik annotating this game (Informator 78) considers 22. Be2 as a very good move. After a difficult ending Kramnik won. Perhaps an opening preparation. Are there any programs that liked this move? [D]r3k2r/p4ppp/4p3/3qQ3/1pN5/1K6/1P4PP/5B1R w kq - 0 22 position after 21...Qxd5, Kramnik played 22. Be2!
