[D]bq4r1/4bp1k/4p3/1P2n1p1/2P1P2p/P3BP1P/1N1R1QP1/7K w - - 0 36 I suspect that Crafty is going to lose this position in 24 hours per move by 36.a4 f5 37.exf5 g4 inspite of a positive score for white. I am not sure if Crafty can find the moves of black in this line. I also suspect that Crafty like other programs is not going to see that white is losing even 24 hours after 37...g4 Uri
