Yesterday PM and Sjeng played a game in which Sjeng found Nxc5! in this
position:
[D]5nk1/r1q1b2p/1Np1p1p1/p1Pp1p2/Q2Pn3/P3PN2/5PPP/1R2B1K1 b - - 0 26 bm Nxc5
This took 27 seconds on GCP's AMD Athlon XP 1800, albeit with the benefit of
populated hash tables. PM takes 1:27 seconds to find it from a standing start on
my Athlon 1200.
The game changed completely after 38..Nd6??, which loses to Be7. The full game
follows:
