Hmm, now this is very similar to Fritz and makes me think .. maybe I was wrong
with some of my thoughts. Have a look at Dieter Bürssner's last post with a good
eval and main line for Kd6 ( with persistant hashtables , so this is not about a
competition) . How long does it take Chessmaster to come up with something
similar ?

Curious.
