For "Qxe7" I take it was meant "Qxg7" ??? N98, CG3/5, R9, CM5xxx, J in F, even given much more time, also fail to avoid grabbing that loose pawn. >>>On my P200MMX 64MB Gandalf 3.0 is playing Qe2 af 7 min. 32. sec. >>>with the score 0.30 for white! But the question is: WHY does it reject Qxg7. i.e. given say 1 hr/move, playing for both sides, what line and evaluations (for each move) does it produce after Qxg7 is played ? >>Is Gandalf the best PC Chess Program ? :) >please no smiley ! Don't underestimate Gandalf. To estimate Gandalf we need the answer to the question. If the answer suggests it is simply because open lines to the castled king are given a big no-no in the static evaluation, then I may be able to produce positions where Gandalf **should** grab a pawn (or similar) but does not do so. Please do reply! Kind regards fca
