Instead it prefers Bc3 or Qd1 (depending on the time control): Time Depth Score Positions Moves 0:00 1/4 0.81 3940 1.Bc3 Bh6 2.Bxb4 Bxc1 3.Bxa5 Qxa5 4.Rxc1 0:00 2/5 0.41 10441 1.Bc3 Bh6 2.Rcb1 Rxb1+ 3.Rxb1 Rxb1+ 4.Qxb1 Ne8 0:00 2/6 0.43 23711 1.Bc3 Bh6 2.Rd1 R4b7 3.Ra3 Ne8 0:02 3/7 0.41 104425 1.Bc3 Bh6 2.Rcb1 Rxb1+ 3.Rxb1 Rxb1+ 4.Qxb1 Qb6 5.Qc2 Ne8 0:03 3/8 0.46 223143 1.Bc3 Bh6 2.Nd2 R4b7 3.Be2 Ne8 4.Bg4 Nef6 0:12 4/9 0.44 806483 1.Bc3 Bh6 2.Nd2 R4b7 3.Be2 Ne8 4.Rd1 Qd8 5.Bg4 0:33 4/10 0.50 2263301 1.Bc3 Bh6 2.Nd2 R4b7 3.Be2 Bf4 4.Rd1 h5 5.Ra2 Nh7 1:07 4/10 0.62 4372950 1.Qd1 Rb3 2.Be2 h5 3.Qe1 Qa7 4.Bxa5 Bh6 5.Rc2 Rb2 6.Rxb2 Rxb2 3:04 5/11 0.46 12876706 1.Qd1 Rb3 2.Be2 h5 3.Rcb1 Rxb1 4.Rxb1 Rxb1 5.Qxb1 Qa7 6.Qb3 Nb6 7.Bd3 4:24 5/11 0.52 18464065 1.Bc3 Bh6 2.Nd2 Rc8 3.Be2 Bf4 4.Bxb4 cxb4 5.Rd1 Nb6 6.c5 Bxe2 7.Nxe2 Bxd2 8.Rxd2 Qxc5 jm
