Ok I start with ECM.1134:

You are probably right in this:

[D] 2r2rk1/1p1q1ppp/1p3n2/3p1N2/4n3/1N3Q2/PPP2PPP/R2R2K1 w - - bm Rxd5; id
"ECM.1134";

It is no problem to find Rxd5 here - but is it really the best move ?

0:00:00.2  ( 7/13)      46412   0.19  1.Nbd4 Rfe8 2.Re1 Ra8 3.c3  (Mat=0,50=0)
0:00:00.3  ( 7/13)      84545   0.20  1.Rxd5  (Mat=100,50=0)
0:00:00.4  ( 7/15)     107045   0.69  1.Rxd5 Ng5 2.Rxd7  (Mat=1100,50=0)
0:00:00.6  ( 8/17)     184103   0.50  1.Rxd5 Qe8 2.Nd6 Nxd6 3.Rxd6 Rxc2 4.Rxb6
Qe2  (Mat=100,50=1)
0:00:01.6  ( 9/21)     414101   0.67  1.Rxd5 Ng5 2.Rxd7
0:00:03.5  (10/24)    1006908   0.45  1.Rxd5 Qe8 2.Nd6 Nxd6 3.Rxd6 Qe5 4.Rxb6
(Mat=200,50=0)
0:00:07.9  (11/27)    2212733   0.48  1.Rxd5 Qe8 2.Nd6
0:00:16.8  (12/28)    5107430   0.29  1.Rxd5 Qe8 2.Nd6
0:00:55.6  (12/33)   15894314   0.30  1.Nbd4  (Mat=0,50=1)
0:01:16.1  (12/33)   21718210   0.31  1.c3  (Mat=0,50=0)

I tried with a few programs and my own brain: Rxd5, Nbd4 and also Ne3 to some
extent all look very promising.
My impression is that this testposition is still correct but I can't prove.
If I had to play this position myself after looking at some of the lines I'd
definitely prefer 1.Nbd4 :).


Score after Nbd4:

13     4:14   0.73   1. ... g6 2. Nh6+ Kg7 3. Qe3 Rfe8 f3 Nc3 5. Nhf5+ Kg8 6.
Qh6 Ne2+ 7. Kf1 Nh5 8. Re1 Nef4 9. g4 gxf5 10. gxh5

Score with Rxd5:
17    48:36   0.99   1. Rxd5 Qe8 2. Re1 Nxd5 3. Rxe4 Qc6 4. Nbd4 Qf6 5. Rg4 Ne7
6. Rxg7+ Kh8 7. Qh5 h6 8. Nxe7 Kxg7 9. Ndf5+ Kh7 10. Nxc8 Rxc8

So whites score is really different.
