In a game Spasski-Pachman (Manila 1976) Pachman found the good defence Nb4-d5-e7
to bring a further defender to his king to protect the weak g6 square.

Wrong is of course ...Bxa4 ?? after b3 nebst Qh5 and Lxg6 white´s attack is
decisive.Maybe an immediate is also decisive.

Here are an example that this tasc of defence is not trivial.

Two strong programs on paralell analysis on Athlon 1,5 Ghz under Arena-GUI:

Aristarch 4.4  UCI 86 MB:
T2  00:00  0,21   Lxa4 b3
T3  00:00  0,36   Lxa4 b3 Lb5

T13  10:46  0,37   Lxa4 b3
T14  26:40  0,07   Lxa4 b3 Lb5 Dh5
T15  01:29:04  -0,13   Lxa4 b3 Lc6

So no result by Aristarch and a subperfect solution by Yace.

What is the opinion of your favorite program?
