Unbelievable what computers can find. >Another cook and another position from WCSAC eliminated. > >Regards, >Miguel 1)I disagree that Qd2 is uninteresting. It is the move that most humans are going to play but for some reason there are humans who look for a sacrifice and not for the best move. It is the most natural move to play because there is no reason to sacrifice the queen when there is a mate attack without sacrificing the queen. Thinking about sacrifices make sense only if you find no win without them. 2)Chest says that there is no mate in 8. Uri
