Ed, [d]6k1/p3b1np/6pr/6P1/1B2p2Q/K7/7P/8 w - - am Qxh6?; > >Steve, try this one, same pattern, only harder. Yes similar / same theme. After Qxh6 Nh5 Bxb4 Kxb4 the king is in 'the square' for both pawns but cannot stop both of them. Some engines have routines to handle this (e.g. latest Crafty) which helps. Interestingly I didn't see as much 'freezing' as with the original position. All using my 1.5 GHz P4 Program Negative Alternative Yace 55 59 Monarch 5 min 9 sec 5 min 28 sec Shredder 6.02 4 min 11 sec 4 min 18 sec Fritz 7 36 sec 39 sec Tiger 14 - 5 min 24 Crafty 18.10 1 min 25 sec 1 min 26 sec Crafty 18.14 15 sec 49 sec Junior 7 > 1 hour!!! LGoliath 1.5 - 55 sec The new past pawn routines in Crafty show up nicely! Regards, Steve
