Since Bf1 was not played in the game and white won anyway why do "bf1 was not played in the game" is not a valid argument. Opponent made huge blunder as he played Rd8. >you believe Bf1 is needed? Also if I play the black moves from the Nxd5 move Junior is PSQ please use a non preprocessor you will see score drop to near zero at bigger depths when playing the line Nd5 cd Rd5 Nc4 Rf5 This line is very unclear and needs deep study to reveal whether it's: a) won for black b) draw c) won for white This where Nd5 cd Rd5 Nc4 Rf5 Bf1 is a clear win for white. >on, Junior 7 plays the white side almost exactly as the game went with a minor >transposition.
