Do you think the tactical abilities of you engine are sufficient? Here a
position from the game Boleslawski-Flohr to test the computers.

[Site "Moscow (Russia)"]
[Date "1950.??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Boleslavsky Isaak (BLR)"]
[Black "Flohr Salomon (RUS)"]
[Result "1-0"]
[ECO "B11"]

Does your computer see the win for white here? (Draw by repetition is not
sufficient.)

Time to improve your extensions? Seems to me some engines get confused by the
repetitions. Let's see. ;)
