The level of CometA90 is even worse in that position.

palm tiger could not see it with white but Comet could not see it with black and
finding it with black is easier by 1 ply.

It may be interesting to test both programs to find how much time they need to
avoid Rd1 and how much time they need to find c5 in order to see if Comet is
better in tactics than palm tiger or the opposite.

I believe that 120/40 was not enough but that they are going to find the right
move after enough time.

The position is not so easy for computers and I bet that a lot of amatuers are
not going to find c5 on p200 at time control of 120/40.

movei seems to be one of them.
