===================

thanks Roy for posting the moves here! Yes, you have them correct..
the knight at f6 is also sacrificed in the game as I remember it...

You are right, some programs play the correct first move, but only show 0.00
in the evaluation....guess they are going for a draw..:-(

thanks for pointing this out!
