Wasn't 1. Bxa5 discredited as a winning attempt? 1. Bxa5 Rxa5 2. Rd8+ Bf8 3. Qd2 Qc7 4. Ng5 4...Ra6 5. Ne4 Kg7 6. Nf6 Qxe5 7. Ng4 Qh5 8. Rxf8 Kxf8 9. Qd8+ Kg7 10. Qf6+ Kf8 11. Qd8+ = 4...Qxe5 5. Qxa5 Qxg5 6. Qa8 Qc1+ 7. Kh2 Qf4+ 8. Kg1 Qc1+ = Am I missing something? If not, of the 9 difficult test positions, 3 are broken and 1 is questionable. I believe that - with more time - Crafty solves the remaining 5 positions. Simon
