11...Be7 is the last book move.

Autoplayer lag, in DOS it happens.

Naturally it's possible in theory to play through a few lines and see how any
program would proceed. Note; I am not saying in this case that happened.

Yes Qh4 is last book move.


>5. The cook is Be7, right?


Be7 is the last Rebel book move. It's also a book move for many other programs.
Simply look at Fritz 7.ctg and look at blacks score with this move.

How long did you check with Fritz for? and what version? Takes Fritz 7 a fair
time to get off Nxd5 on my PC AMD @1400 mhz.

Shredder 6 also plays Nxd5 as it did in the game.

Note in the game Shredder went to depth 13 in 9:32 but the PC used was much
slower.

Ok agreed but Shredder plays Nxd5 so what would you have him do?

Shredder plays the moves shown, it's a book line in which it ends playing a poor
move on a slow PC.
