If I were playing this game I would of definately taken the h7 pawn! I came up
with a Sicilian version along with an Advanced version of the French Defense
that led to a rather quick mate. While my rating is only around twenty two
hundred, I think if a computer isn't programmed good enough, if it doen't even
consider the gamble or possiblity of such a sacrafice, it's not programmed well
enough.
