Subject: Challenge position for engines! (Lots of luck)

Author: Albert Silver

Date: 14:43:29 03/04/02

The following position occurred in Spassky-Beliavsky, Reykjavik, 1988

[D]2b1qrk1/5p1p/pBn3p1/1p2p3/4P2N/bBP1Q3/P4PPP/3R2K1 w - -

Spassky found a tremendous move 25.Nxg6!! and won the game. I don't think any
engines will have much luck with it but feel free to try it. I've analyzed it in
detail and can verify that it is the strongest move and correct, so as a further
challenge, see if you can find the *strongest* continuation after the possible
defense: 25...hxg6 26.Qh6 Be6!?
