>The fact that your program can avoid a6 in a few seconds does not prove that >avoiding a6 is easy because you may have a good program. Most programs will be able to avoid a6 reasonably fast they will see that they cannot make progress after a6 and hence their evaluation will not improve upon rook+3 passers. When they get deep enough they will see that it is possible to make more progress in the other lines, and hence switch. You are right that it is playing the right move that matters, but I suspect most programs will have a lot more trouble in the position Miguel posted, because they have to improve upon winning a pawn, which is harder. -- GCP
