I am also more interested in slower time control and not in 1 0 or 2 0 games. I do not like the solution of crafty because it means that the program is not going to capture even in cases when it is good to capture. I think that a better solution is to do special extensions in positions when the trojan horse sacrifice is relevant. Uri
