Yace also sticks to Ng3. After 1...Ng3 2. Qh2 Nh5 Yace cannot find a win for
white in some minutes. I also tried 3. f5 g3. Still Yace cannot find a win. All
the PVs, I have seen posted here, seem to indicate, that the other programs also
cannot avoid Ng3, because they see the position as lost. In the PVs I have
looked at more carefully, Ng3 was avoided by other programs, while still showing
a good score.
