Nb3 e6 8. Qd2 a6 9. 0-0-0 gxf6 8.Nd5?? This is the critical moment. White can still settle for the standard 8.Nb3 but can’t resist what seems as a hung rook – elementary childish combo Qxd4 9.Nc7+ Kd8 10.Nxa8 Qxe4+ 11.Qe2 Rook taken in return for a knight and pawn – only to realize the no exit sign for the knight at a8 f5 Smirin simplifies for a confident win 12.Qxe4 fxe4 13.Rd1 Be6 14.b4 Nxb4? Smirin can avoid giving slight counter play by the simpler 14…Bg7 but is winning anyway of course ______________________________ question: how long does it take today's programs not to play 8.Nd5?? ? and do they really see it because of software advances, as shay says, or do they see deep enough to see the knight is stuck? (i.e. does Nd5 appear as PV in the beginning? how long?) aloha martin
