This is from an ICC game between PostModernist and Crafty. The key here is Nb2!
How long does it take your program to find it?
[D]1r1r2k1/p5pp/4ppq1/2b5/nP6/4P1P1/P2BQ1BP/R2R3K b - b3 0 1 bm Nb2
It took crafty 10 seconds on Bob's quad Xeon 700MHz (with the benefit of full
hashtables of course). It takes sixty seconds for PM to find it on my Athlon
1200.
