Subject: Passes pawn eval - test position

Author: José Carlos

Date: 14:19:07 09/07/01

  Last night, in one of my test games, Averno played ...Bxf4 in this position
(against another program):

[D]4R3/p2r3r/1pNbRp2/2p2k1p/2P2PpP/PP4P1/K7/8 b - - 0 1

  The game ended soon:

57. gxf4 g3 58. Re2 Rhg7 59. Re1 g2 60. Rg1 Rd2+ 61. Ka1 Rf2
62. Ree1 Kxf4 63. a4 Kg3 64. a5 Rc7 65. Nd8 bxa5 66. Kb1 Kxh4 67. Ka1 Kg3
68. Kb1 h4 69. Ne6 Rc6 70. Nd8 Rb6 71. Ne6 Rxb3+
{White resigns} 0-1

  59. Re1 is a blunder, but I wonder if the sac is correct at all. It seems that
59. Rg2 is good enough for white (Averno plays Bxf4 by eval, it doesn't see the
pawn queening at all in search). Is my passed pawn eval too high here? What do
other programs think?

  Thanks in advance.
