If it does, then it is not a bad move. A win is a win. Sure there may be a more spectacular way of winning, but so what. A win is a win. I don't believe this is a good position to judge the chess engines as lacking imagination because there are many paths to victory. Surely, chess engines will try to find the safest path to victory, but this does not necessary make chess engines without imagination. My 2 cents. Regards, Laurence
