I am not impressed I read that Genius1 found this move in less than 1 second on p100 see http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/6298/ajedre3b.htm I tried some years ago genius3 for many hours on the same hardware and it could not find it. My guess is simply that Chaos and Genius1 had some knowledge about pins when Genius3 had not this knowledge because Richard Lang found that evaluating pins is not productive for games. Uri
