Yesterday Shredder 6.02 on Dual-PIII-1 Ghz played against GM Kiriakov on
playchess.com. The game was really exciting; after the 29th move from Kiriakov,
Shredder suddenly evaluates his position with + 1.49, but after the next move of
the GM he was lost.
Which program find the winning move 29...d3 ?
[D] 3q1rk1/5p2/1p2p1p1/n2rP1Pp/3p3N/8/P4RPP/1Q3RK1 b - - 0 29
After 30. Nxg6 fxg6 31. Rxf8+ Qxf8 32. Rxf8+ Kxf8 the endgame Q vs. R and N is
lost for white, because of the passed black d-pawn. Most programs think that
there is a perpetual check, but actually there is no.
