Sure enough, a few moves later Crafty realized >it was not just drawing, it was winning easily. really a cool position! even after 19 ply of the main line, white is still down in material, and if it were not for his totally misplaced queenside pieces, he would be doing fine. i'd be surprised if any program could find this in a reasonable amount of time with a high score. then again, "saw +2.5 very quickly" is a fuzzy statement. considering the depth of the combination, i would call anything under an hour "very quickly". so: did hsu mean one minute or one hour with "very quickly"? aloha martin
