6k1/8/p3r2p/1p1pPpp1/1n1pP3/1Pq4P/PR4PB/3QN1K1 b This epd-file represents a position between Spassky-Tal 1959. Spassky took the rook 1…Dxb2, and who hadn’t. But this is wrong. Even if you play white with a weaker chessprogram against black with a stronger one, white wins after that move.. The best move is 1…dxe4. On the opposite, here a weaker black program always wins over a stronger black program after that move. I wrote about the position in PLY (SSDF) about eight years ago. Even the strongest chessprograms didn’t find the right move in those days. Not even in analyze for a week or so. Does you program find it? Rebel9 find it in analyze, but not in 3 minutes on my computer (Pentium 133). But Fritz 5 find the right move in about 10 seconds, and doesn’t change its mind then! Nearly unbelievable. I have tested Fritz5 on the selfgoing update, and now I have ordered it. Perhaps Chessbase shouldn’t be in a such hurry to put it away, when they found that it was possible to make it selfgoing. (You have to put two files to it from Cblight only). Not only I had buyed it after testing it, I think. Georg
