Unbelievable what computers can find. >Another cook and another position from WCSAC eliminated. > >Regards, >Miguel This is a bug in Bringer 1.8. Bringer used to stop its analysis suddenly whenever it found a forced mate . It looks as if it propagated the mate evaluation and the node count from the best move to the second move in the list in 2-best mode, too - just a second before it finds the mate for Qh6 you can still see the real value for Qd2 which was in the same region as the Fritz analysis Uri posted. So you shouldn't trust the eval for the second move in case the best move has a mate score - everything with a grain of salt as I am not the programmer. I am confident this won't be in Bringer 1.9 as I couldn't reproduce the problem with the current beta :). pete
