With "I cannot understand" I meant a possible language problem. After your "when
20...h6" there is missing something.

>Did you try only material evaluation and saw 0.00 for both moves.

Yes. Running in the background; -0.1 means I have a N vs. B. I reach not the
depth you have shown with Deep Fritz. Actually I think, the shown line will lose
material later. Now, move numbers counted from one in the position above. After

It may still be the case, that positional compensation was seen in lines in the
search tree, and there is no contradiction. The lines that do not loose material
may be seen much worse than a pawn positionally.
