It seems like it >should be so easy for a computer to see this one by static eval. I think Ricardo summed it up well in his other post. Yes, at a quick glance Black looks much better, but it really does take some deep calculation to be certain. (You'd be crazy to resign that position, even against a very strong player.) You'd lose your mind trying to write code that could accurately evaluate this statically. For example, move White's king to d4 *or* his pawn to h5, and the position is drawn. Chess is hard, Dann. :) -Peter
