Hi Koundinya, [D]6B1/1pp3p1/3p4/n1k2P2/2P3P1/4K3/8/8 b - - 0 40 >>>>> >>>>>I think black already lost here, but >>>No, after Nc6 result is 0,5-0,5. White cannot make any progres. >>Which one avoids it? what is the PV? >>I tested this with my program and I think that it does not avoids it for the >>right reason. Is not black winning? >> >> 2634164 9 16.4 +1.91 Na5xc4 Bg8xc4 Kc5xc4 g4-g5 >> Kc4-d5 Ke3-f4 g7-g6 f5xg6 >> Kd5-e6 Kf4-e4 c7-c6 Ke4-d4 >> b7-b5 g6-g7 >> >>4... g6! is the winning move, otherwise black loses. (5. g6! and 6.f6 is the >>threat). >> >>How is white supposed to play? >> >Analysis with Yace tells me that after 4... g6 5. Kg4! wins for white. If black >captures 5... gxf5, the white pawn promotes. If it doesn't capture but tries >something like 5... b5, then 6. fxg6 Ke6 7. Kh5 wins for white. hmmmm... Quark thinks now for couple of minutes... on ply 17 it has still Nxc4 with +0.19 (okay, has already seen that it is not so perfect move...) on ply 18 I have a fail low now on Nxc4, let's see whith what score it will come out and if it is deep enough that it will try to choose a different move... (Fail low after about 7 minutes, but that will take some time... all on Athlon 1333 and about 170 MB hash + some 5 men TBs...) is falling very low... (I open the window in steps in Quark...) it's sure that it will switch to another move, when I see the score, I will indicate here how long it has taken... Greets, Thomas
