It believes, after 13 minutes on my Athlon 1900, that b5 is white's best move, beginning a long spiral downward in the game score. King moves of Kc2 and Kc4 were considered, but never earned a high enough value to be made. After Black's ...f5, the White's rook does some useless checks to Black's king, but the Black pawns are united, and on the march, and White is helpless to stop them. 2. Kc4, d3 3. Rg3, Rc7+ 4. Kb4, d2 5. Rg6+, Kd5 6. Rg8, e3 etc. Better luck next time, David
