Mmm. Tiger doesn't seem to be progressing at all here. I don't know. The simple
lesson I will take to heart from peoples comments in this thread is that the
"best" idea and probably the simplest to explain to a chess program, is that f6
is the right move here. So I will make the engine understand that the h8 bishop
needs more scope, and that capturing on e5 with the pawn, followed by a
recapture of either the d- or the f-pawn will weaken one of white's f-pawns.
