[D]4k2r/rp5p/pR4p1/4qp2/3pp1PQ/8/2P4P/R5K1 w k - 0 28 This position is from IM Berg-GM Hector, Sigeman tournament - Malmo. These two very tactical skilled Swedes had battled it out just like old masters did in the 19th century. Young Emanuel Berg sacked one pawn after another but, as it looked, in vain. Now, all good stories give some glory to the brave one and that is also what happened here. In the above position white, 4 pawns less, has the resource 28.Ra5!! - with the point 28.-Qxa5 29.Qf6! (not 29.Re6+ Kd7). At the present moment it looks like this 28.Ra5!! is good enough to draw the game for white. Test 1: Can your program find the move 28.Ra5!! - evals? Test 2. After 28.Ra5!! Qxa5 can your program find 29.Qf6! - evals? In the game Hector chose 28.-Qg7 which resulted in a draw. See further down.
