CM9000 does not see a mate in any reasonable amount of time (i.e. over one hour), and still sees Black with a decent advantage after I force 1.Bxh6 f6 2.Nd3 gxh6 3.Qxh6 Bh7, which appears to be the best line. Does White have a better second move in the above line? I also tried forcing 1.Bhx6 f6 2.Bxg7+ Kxg7, with a similar (about -0.7) advantage for Black. jm
