Here is the FEN for the position:

2r2rk1/p1q1bpp1/1p6/n2R4/8/P4N2/1B2QPPP/5RK1 w - -

Suggested best move is Bxg7.

I have run this one before on Crafty.  Just tried it again to see what
it thinks...

After 11 plies, 2 minutes, it likes Qe4 with a score of +.40,  In
watching Crafty search at depth=12, Bxg7 has popped up to the number 2
position in terms of nodes searched for the previous iteration.  But it
doesn't replace Qe4 as the best move at 12...


I will try to run it a long while later...

Would be nice to see them post things like this or write it up, so that we
have real positions to compare with them.  I certainly can't get a score that
high from depth=12, which will take at least 5 mins to complete, and depth=13
is unlikely to pop up before 10 minutes at best.

At least we have a test position, a score, and a partial PV to look at...
