It is refreshing to see that there still some people thinking like a human
in this forum :-)
Computer are most of the times clueless in this time of positions: Simplified
endgames that are still far from egtb's and require planning.
It is necessary to find a plan for the win. Is there any? I do not think
so. Martin defensive plan sounds good. Remember that a regular 3 vs 2 without
passed pawns is a draw.

Miguel
