Hello
Here's a position from a blitz game between ChesterX and PostModernist on ICC.
PM is too hasty here, playing 49... Rxb3 On my Athlon 1200 it takes PM
34 seconds to choose g6 instead. However, this tranlates to more than two
minutes on the PIII 450 on which the game was played. How long does it take
other programs to avoid Rxb3? Please state hardware.
[D] 1r1r4/5kp1/2pp1n2/p1p2Q1p/P1P4P/1PP1PBq1/3R4/3R3K b - - am Rxb3
