I gave Junior4.6 to analyze the position for a long time
at depth 19 it gives the line 15...c4 16.d4 exd4 17.cxd4 Nc6 18.Nf3 d5
19.e5 Nd7 20.Nf5 Bb4 21.Bd2 Bxd2 22.Nxd2
as adventage of 0.03 pawns for black.
it does not find 15...b5 at depth 19 so I think the fact that Junior
miscalculated 16.d4 exd4 cxd4 c3 is not the only problem in this
position.
can Junior4.9 find 15...b5 if you give it a long time?
