Do we know that if you play Rb4, that white has to take the sac? If white doesnt have to take the Rook sac, then maybe there is no solution to wac.230. BTW: a few more minutes of thinking, and lots more fail lows, and the score has dropped below 1.0. It likes Rb5 and Rh7 equally. I think both moves are equally dumb. ply 10=2.53 ply 11=2.35 ply 12=0.88 ply 13 partial=0.64 (still thinking at this ply) The branching factor goes out the wazzooo as it starts detecting blockades, the branching factor is around 11 now at ply 12, as a good move previously now shows a draw, everything shows a draw, basically it is breaking down null-move,alha-beta, everything, down to a straight brute force look at every move. Thinking more on your ideas on what to do on detecting lots of blockades. I might experiment with turing things off like : nullmove, pruning, reductions, or say moving null move to R=1 (I use R=2 normally).
