This may be correct from the practical viewpoint of a human master, but would you like computers to play like that? It's not attractive... from a spectator's viewpoint, I do not need that kind of smartness :o) >When you calculate a complex line there is a risk that you are wrong so it is a >bad idea to do it when you have another good option. Hm... Fritz goes for Ne6 too. If the programs can search good, or deep enough, they may have seen that there isn't that much risk. Things would be different if only Gambit Tiger (or the new Junior even) would play the move. Looks like Ne6 is a good illustration of Ferret's potential (again). Regards, M.Scheidl
