This knight sacrifice should win for black. 11...Nxf2 This move is in the Tiger ct.tbk book. Of course tiger would never play into this position. There are several moves in this line Tiger will not play. Set this position up and see how long it takes your program to play this move. If your program wont play this move, then take the f2 pawn and see how long it takes your programs score to show white is down with the knight sacrifice.
