 My old friend Junior 6 has no clue analysing 16 plyes (some 4 minutes on my
Athlon 1200). True, as I'm reading this forum while it analyses, I'm maybe
depriving the engine of some calculation power.

 I make on the board the moves 1...Bb5 (Junior 6 sees it as a blunder) 2.axb5,
and now Junior get it- analysing 14 plyes after almost two minutes, it finds
2...Nhg3+ or 2...Nfg3+ as both winning.

 Incredible, my first impression when I firstly saw the diagram was "surely I
may sacrifice both knights in order to open 'h', then both rooks in order to get
the Queen at h8 and -alas, there are two Bishops in the way- well, let us start
with 1...Bb5 in order to get rid of one of them, then the abovesaid sacrifices,
eventually a check at c5 in orden to erase the other Bishop, yes it works-
1...Bb5 wins". Some ten seconds.

 So I still could beat Junior 6 in brute force calculation!

 My only problem is, how can I possibly get this kind of easily won game when
playing Junior or another engine?    :(
