Agreed that it is easy for a human-white to say "Open g file - no way!" even without seeing a winning attack for Black. >Any kid that has learned how to play chess in school would not take Qxg7 ! Agreed. >Only materialists do. Agreed. But many chess programs (being materialists or whatever) *do* take the poisoned pawn, because search is not enough. So, it is fair to ask why does Gandalf not play Qxg7?. I now rephrase: **Perhaps** (I do not know, I do not have Gandalf) it rejects Qxg7 (correctly so, of course) but **for the wrong reason**... (i.e. on average bad tuning, though in this position correct). And the point being: If I modify the position slightly (making it harder for a black bishop to come into play, say) so Qxg7 *is* then a correct move, will Gandalf (andor CSTal) still reject it once they see the WQ being driven away and a black rook controlling the g-file? Your views, please? :-) Kind regards fca
