Subject: A position: What does your favourite engine say?

Here, in a correspondence game, I played Nxd5 and went on to win.  I'm trying to
work out how good it is against the other more obvious move, Rh1.  Personally, I
think it is at least as good as Rh1, if not better (that's why I played it at
the time!) although the dividends aren't really seen until the endgame.

When it comes to using Deep Fritz (Athlon 1900+ 128MB RAM), it doesn't see the
possibility for a long, long time.  If I make it analyse the position from Nxd5,
it likes it much more quickly and by quite a bit after about 18 ply.

Does anyone's engine see Nxd5 reasonably quickly and what do they think of it
when Nxd5 is played?

Many thanks

Matthew
